India, May 26 -- Tensions between the United States and Iran have intensified again after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone that allegedly entered Iranian airspace.

Iranian state media reported that the country's air defence systems targeted both an MQ-9 drone and a fighter jet after detecting what the IRGC described as "hostile aircraft." The claim came shortly after the US military said it carried out "defensive" strikes against rocket-launch sites in the region, raising fresh concerns over the stability of the current ceasefire.

The IRGC warned that it reserves the "legitimate and definite" right to respond to any ceasefire violations by the United States.
