Iran IRGC downs US MQ-9 drone over Qeshm Island near Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims it intercepted and destroyed a US MQ-9 drone over Qeshm Island in the Gulf, near the Strait of Hormuz. This is a repeat of previous incidents, but the specific location and timing may signal heightened tensions. The claim is unverified by the US, and the operational impact on regional security and shipping remains uncertain.
