Iran's Revolutionary Guards say an advanced air defense system destroyed a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, which they describe as the 54th such downing, and warned that new targets could follow.

Why now: Ongoing Iran-US tensions make every reported strike on American military assets a flashpoint for escalation.
