Iran IRGC claims destruction of US MQ-1 drone over Strait of Hormuz

Iran's IRGC Aerospace Force claims to have intercepted and destroyed an advanced MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz using a new air defense system, as reported by state broadcaster. The claim is unverified and likely part of ongoing regional tensions, marking a potential escalation in direct military engagement. This incident could heighten risks to maritime traffic in a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments.
