The IRGC says it intercepted US drones over the Strait of Hormuz. Its Navy describes capturing an intact MQM-170 Outlaw drone near Qeshm Island using electronic warfare, and Iranian state media and IRNA relay that account. A Tabz Live Telegram relay says the IRGC published footage of surface-to-air missiles intercepting MQ-9A Reaper and MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones, and no independent source has confirmed any of these claims.
