After downing two US warplanes, the Iranian authorities on Saturday claimed to have taken down another American drone.

Iran’s Fars news agency reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s “advanced modern” air defence systems have shot down an MQ-1 drone over the province of Isfahan.

Earlier, the Iranian forces announced they had struck down two US warplanes, one over southwestern Iran and another near the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, according to Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s air defences reportedly shot down a single-engine exhaust US-Israeli fighter jet late last night.
