US drones approached a zone of Iranian military high schools near the Strait of Hormuz and withdrew after a “warning” from the Iranian army, the official Irna news agency reported today.
The high schools, which began the day before yesterday and ended today, were a message to “those with bad intentions towards Iran,” according to a spokesman for the operation, which referred mainly to the United States.
“American drones, MQ-9 (known as Reaper) and RQ4 + (known as Global Hawk) approached the zone where the common Zolfaghar 1400 high schools took place,” Irna reported today, using the name given to the high schools, without says when the incident happened.
“They changed course when the air defense warned them that they were determined to stop them,” he said, without elaborating on the means used.
The Iranian media spoke of a “serious” warning.
The high schools ended today with a parade in which warships took part, including submarines, according to state television.
The exercises began a few days after the Revolutionary Guards, the ideological army of the Islamic Republic, announced that they had prevented a US attempt to seize a tanker loaded with Iranian oil in the Oman Sea near Hormuz.
Washington has denied the allegations, saying it had made “no effort to find out.”
This is not the first time Iran has issued a warning to US drones approaching its airspace for military exercises.
In recent years, the Gulf region, the Sea of ​​Oman and the Strait of Hormuz have been the scene of several incidents between the Islamic Republic and the United States.
Tensions peaked in June 2019, when Iran announced that it had shot down a US drone that had violated its airspace, something that Washington had denied.
