The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran said on the 4th that it had shot down a US military MQ-1 drone over Iran's Qeshm Island. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement on the same day saying that the Revolutionary Guard's new advanced air defense system tracked and shot down the drone over Qeshm Island. The statement also said that in the past few nights, the enemy has stepped up reconnaissance and intelligence activities to try to detect Iran's air defense system, while carrying out a series of “conspiracy operations” in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has successfully carried out multiple interceptions. The statement said that the Revolutionary Guard Navy continues to monitor the Strait of Hormuz, once again showing that management and control of the strait is in Iran's hands, and “the enemy's actions to change the current situation in the region will not succeed.”
