New spoils for Iran from the US: the story behind downing two MQM-170 drones

Persian Gulf, Iran ·

The two drones were downed in separate operations on the 7th and 8th of Aban, in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz area, according to the report. The report says the downing frustrated the US mission and offers an opportunity to study the technologies used in these aircraft in more detail.

Iran and the United States have competed for influence in the Persian Gulf for decades, and the Strait of Hormuz is a vital route for oil shipments.
