A U.S. spy drone withdrew from near Iranian airspace after being intercepted by Iranian F-14 fighter jets and reconnaissance drones, Iran’s Nournews reported on Monday, citing the country's Army Air Force.
Iran’s armed forces remain on high alert and are prepared for “full-scale defense and a severe counterattack” against enemy interests in the Middle East, the report stated.
The incident comes amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Monday that he would hold Iran responsible for any attacks carried out by the Houthis in Yemen, a group backed by Tehran. His administration has expanded military operations in the region, marking the largest U.S. military deployment in the Middle East since his return to the White House.
Neither the Pentagon nor Iran’s defense ministry has issued an official statement on the drone encounter. However, the timing aligns with heightened military activity in the region, as U.S. naval forces continue to respond to Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
Iran has repeatedly warned against U.S. military movements near its borders, vowing to respond to any perceived threats. The latest incident signals further strain in an already volatile region.
