Iranian fishermen find parts of downed US drone: ambassador

  • US drone was shot down by the Islamic Republic last week
  • Iran has said the drone was shot down in its territorial waters, but the US claims otherwise

GENEVA: Iranian fishermen have found parts of the US drone shot down by the Islamic Republic last week, Iran’s ambassador to Britain, Hamid Baeidinejad, said on Tuesday.
He posted his message on Twitter along with a picture of a man standing next to a fishing boat and what appeared to be a piece of metal marked with a US air force logo.

 


Iran has said the drone was shot down in its territorial waters while US officials have said the drone was in international waters.
