IRGC intercepts US-Israeli missile, shoots down 2 hostile drones over Iran

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) air defense units have intercepted and destroyed an American cruise missile in central Iran and shot down two hostile drones in the skies over the southern parts of the country.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Aerospace Force of the IRGC said that it had intercepted and destroyed an AGM/158-B cruise missile over the village of Barzak, near Kashan, in the central province of Isfahan.

It also said that its forces managed to shoot down an Israeli Orbiter drone over Sirik town in the southern province of Hormozgan.

On Monday night, the Aerospace Force also shot down an American MQ9 Reaper drone over Qeshm Island in southern Iran, it added.

American and Israeli enemies have deliberately targeted Iran’s civilian infrastructure and energy facilities, killing hundreds of Iranian people, since they waged their unprovoked war of aggression against the Islamic Republic on February 28.

Iran's armed forces have responded with nearly 100 waves of retaliatory strikes, codenamed Operation True Promise 4. Hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, along with drone attacks, have hit American and Israeli targets across the region.
