On 20 June, Iran said that it had downed a US surveillance drone flying over Hormozgan Province after it violated the country’s airspace. The US Central Command claimed, in turn, that the drone was shot down while operating over international waters in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has formally lodged a complaint to the UN in connection with its airspace’s violation by a US unmanned aerial vehicle earlier this month, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reports.
