Iran claims to have shot down US spy plane
Iran claims to have shot down a US spy plane over its Fordu uranium enrichment site near the 'holy city' of Qom. "An unmanned US spy plane flying over the holy city of Qom near the uranium enrichment Fordu site was shot down by the Revolutionary Guards' air defense units," MP Ali Aghazadeh Dafsari was quoted as saying by the Youth Journalists Club, affiliated to Iran's state TV.If they shot down a spy plane, let them prove it.
"The plane ... was trying to collect information about the site's location ," he said, without giving details. He did not say when the incident happened.
In January Iran announced it had shot down two unmanned western reconnaissance drone aircraft in the Gulf.
The Pentagon denied that report but acknowledged some spy planes had crashed in the past due to mechanical failure.
