Iran has claimed to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone and fired at a fighter jet that entered Iranian airspace. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Iranian forces “fired upon an RQ-4 drone and an intruding F-35 fighter jet”, according to a report by Al Jazeera. The statement quoted in the report did not specify when the incidents took place. However, the Guards said it reserved the “legitimate and definite” right to retaliate against any ceasefire violations by the US. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei also released a statement saying Middle East powers will no longer be “a shield” for US military bases, and the US will no longer have a “safe haven” in the region.
