伊朗击落美无人机，美方警告军事选项
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have surged after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it shot down a US MQ-1 surveillance drone. The incident, which occurred near Iranian airspace, marks a sharp escalation in the long-running shadow war between the two adversaries and comes just days after a senior US defense official reiterated that military force remains on the table if diplomacy fails.
The IRGC's announcement emphasized that the drone had breached Iranian territorial sovereignty, forcing their air defenses to engage. Washington has not yet confirmed the exact location but insists its unmanned aircraft were operating in international airspace. This contradictory narrative is fueling a war of words, with both capitals trading accusations of provocation. The downing is the most significant direct encounter since the US withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, raising the stakes dramatically.
