Iran Says It Shot Down Israeli Drone Over Its Natanz Nuclaer Plant


Israeli Spy Drone Downed Near Iran’s Natanz Nuclear Plant – Report -- RT

Iran says their Revolutionary Guards have shot down an Israeli spy drone trying to penetrate the "nuclear off-limits area" of the Natanz nuclear site, the ISNA news agency reported.

"The downed aircraft was of the stealth, radar-evasive type and it intended to penetrate the off-limit nuclear area in Natanz... but was targeted by a ground-to-air missile before it managed to enter the area," ISNA said, citing a statement by the Revolutionary Guards.

Iran's forces fired a missile at the drone as it neared its uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, more than 300 kilometers south of Tehran.

The statement did not say when the drone was downed, nor did it elaborate on how the Guards knew the drone was from Israel.

My Comment: If it is an Israeli spy drone .... where did it come from? Israel is too far away to have been launched from there.

Update: Is Azerbaijan aiding Israel in its drone program?
