TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) rejected reports that it had shot down a US drone over the under-construction Fordo nuclear site in central part of the country.
IRGC Public Relations issued a statement on Friday, saying it has targeted a test plane in the central Province of Qom, but not a US robot-controlled aircraft as claimed in some media.
The statement also reiterated that the US drones do not have the capability to penetrate into the country's air space due to vigilance of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Defense.
Some media have already said that the IRGC had shot down the US drone.
The IRGC said that military news would naturally be reported by military sources and not by other sources.
