Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had shot down a US MQ-9 drone after what it described as a violation of Iranian airspace over the Gulf region. The claim was reported by Iranian state media.
According to the IRGC, an RQ-4 drone and an F-35 fighter aircraft also briefly entered Iranian airspace before leaving the area. Iranian officials warned that they reserve the right to respond if any future violations or ceasefire breaches occur.
The reported incident comes during a sensitive period of regional tensions following earlier conflict and recent ceasefire efforts. However, independent confirmation of the claims has not yet been provided.
In a separate report, Fars News Agency stated that US and Israeli strikes targeted Iranian vessels near Larak Island. The report claimed the incident resulted in casualties, although these allegations remain unverified and have not been confirmed by independent sources.
The developments have raised concerns about possible escalation in the region despite ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at maintaining stability. Pakistan has reportedly remained involved in diplomatic engagement following previous ceasefire announcements intended to reduce tensions.
Security analysts say claims related to airspace violations and military actions often require independent verification before conclusions can be reached. Regional conflicts involving multiple countries can quickly affect political and economic stability beyond the immediate area.
Authorities and international observers are expected to continue monitoring the situation closely as further details emerge. The latest reports highlight continuing uncertainty in the region and underline the importance of diplomatic dialogue to prevent renewed confrontation or wider instability.
