TEHRAN, May 26. /TASS/. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that several US drones, an F-35 US Air Force fighter jet violated Iranian airspace and that one drone was shot down.

"The terrorist US military, continuing its adventurist interventionist actions in the region and aggressive behavior, carried out an incursion into Iranian airspace in the Persian Gulf area," the IRGC said in a statement published by Tasnim news agency.

Iranian air defense forces compelled an RQ-4 drone and an F-35 fighter jet to leave the country’s territorial airspace, according to the statement.

The statement added that Iranian forces destroyed one MQ-9 drone.

Iran considers any retaliatory measures against US ceasefire violations its legitimate right, the IRGC said.
