The Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement claiming that it tracked and destroyed an “MQ 9” drone over the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC claims that the drone was tracked and hit by the “Novin” air defense system of the IRGC Aerospace Force.

This type of drone is made in the United States and is used by the U.S. military.

CENTCOM has not confirmed such a claim.
