The report estimated the Guard's navy chief, Gen. Ali Fadavi, as stating that the Iranian forces caught the "intruding" drone, which had apparently removed from a U.S. aircraft carrier. Fadavi said the unmanned Scan Eagle aircraft was now in Iran's possession. "The U.S. drone, which was conducting a reconnaissance flight and gathering data over the Persian Gulf in the past few days, was captured by the Guard's navy air defense unit as soon as it entered Iranian airspace," Fadavi said. "Such drones usually take off from large warships.". He didn't provide any more details nor said when the incident happened. There was no immediate remark from the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, based in Bahrain. If real, the seizure of the drone would be the third reported incident involving Iran and U.S. drones in the past two years.
