Iran Press/Iran news: "The US has no right for a military response after Iran reacted to this infringement. Iran is determined to offer a firm response to any aggression", spokesman for the Supreme National Security Council Keyvan Khosravi told Sputnik hours after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) shot down a US military drone for violating Iran’s airspace.
“We've retrieved sections of the US military drone in OUR territorial waters where it was shot down,” said FM Zarif, disproving Trump’s claim that the drone had been flying over international waters.
“At 00:14 US drone took off from UAE in stealth mode & violated Iranian airspace. It was targeted at 04:05 at the coordinates (25°59'43"N 57°02'25"E) near Kouh-e Mobarak,” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a tweet late Thursday.
Zarif also said that Iran would take the case of the US aggression to the United Nations.
