US MQ-9 Reaper drone reportedly shot down near Strait of Hormuz
Original: IRGC vs USAF over Strait of Hormuz: US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone shot down tonight. [IRGC 2/11] # Israel # Palestine #
Claims are circulating that Iran's Revolutionary Guard shot down a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone near the Strait of Hormuz. The report, framed as an IRGC-versus-USAF confrontation, is being shared alongside references to Israel, Palestine and Gaza. No official confirmation from the Pentagon or Iranian authorities has been cited, and details about the alleged incident remain unverified.
Why now: Tensions between Iran and the United States are high, so any reported direct military confrontation near the Strait of Hormuz draws immediate attention.
