Iran’s military warned off two US drones which overflew waters where it was holding naval war games near the strategic Strait of Hormuz this week, state media reported Tuesday.
The unmanned aircraft entered “two Iranian air defence identification zones… and changed course after air defence warned them it had decided to intercept them,” the official IRNA news agency said.
It gave no date for the incident, which it said involved one MQ-9 Reaper drone and one RQ4+ Global Hawk.
But the Zulfiqar 1400 war games began on Sunday and were wrapping up Tuesday with a parade of warships, including submarines, state television reported.
The exercise extended over an area of more than a million square kilometres (around 400,000 square miles) in the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean beyond
The manoeuvres began just days after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had thwarted a US attempt to seize a tanker carrying Iranian oil in the Sea of Oman.
US defence officials rejected that account, saying the Iranians themselves had seized the tanker and taken it to Iranian waters. They said US warships and aircraft had only watched the operation.
The incident followed a series of attacks on shipping in the sea lanes serving the Gulf, where a large portion of the world’s oil is produced.
Iran was blamed for a July 29 drone strike on the tanker MT Mercer Street operated by a London-based firm ultimately owned by Israeli shipping magnate Eyal Ofer. The strike killed a former British soldier and a Romanian.
Iran denied it was responsible for that attack, or others in the area.
i realy dont understand the stupidity of
NWO-WEF-WARMONGERS why they
dont close the persian golf so no oil could
come out and they would have their RESET .
the US never learns and they always lie about what they are doing/ have done
are they still stealing Syrian oil ? Iran proved a few months back they have no fear of the US,
the US flew a recon. drone into Iranian air space the US believed because they were flying way
above the Iranian radars ability to see them, let alone have a missile that could reach them, would
be safe, until an Iranian missile scored a direct hit and blew said drone outta da sky, several years
ago in another drone incursion the Iranian scientists hacked into the frequency this drone was operating
on and took over control of it, landed it and retrieved it from a remote landing strip then reverse
engineered it and built there own drones using the recovered tech, but with superior anti hack tech
Persians are way to clever to be out smarted by mericans
Remember the mullahs work with us since we took over the British operations in the region. So, keep this in mind with all such reports.
