US Washington Post writes that Iran issued a bellicose warning to the U.S. over the weekend, after American officials disclosed last week that the Islamic republic had tried to shoot down a U.S. drone in international airspace near the Iranian coast on November 1.
Iranian General Amir-Ali Hadjizadeh commented on the actions and said the following:
“Yes, we opened fire, and it was with warning shots. If they do it again, they can expect an even stronger response. The drone entered Iranian airspace and had to turn around because of the immediate reaction by fighters of the Revolutionary Guards.”
Note, the Pentagon disclosed Thursday that two Iranian SU-25 “Frog- foot” fighter jets had fired multiple rounds at an unarmed, unmanned U.S. Predator drone that was flying in international airspace 16 nautical miles off the coast of Iran.
