BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 26. A U.S. military MQ9 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was shot down after its entrance to Iranian airspace, the statement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran says, Trend reports.
According to the statement, the U.S. military UAVs were shot down after they entered Iranian territory. As a result, the RQ4 UAV and the F35 fighter jet left the country's airspace.
"The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warns against any violation of the ceasefire by the U.S. military and considers it its legitimate right to respond in kind," the statement emphasized.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation. However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
