According to Sepah news agency, the drone was monitored and targeted by advanced defensive missiles early Sunday morning.

The IRGC emphasized that the airspace over Iran’s territorial waters is under full control and any acts of aggression will be met with decisive retaliation.

The joint US-Israeli aggression against Iran began on February 28, 2026. In response, Iran launched precise retaliatory strikes against Israeli positions and US bases in the region. Then, a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire between Iran and the US-Israeli coalition was first declared on April 7, 2026, for two weeks, following a 40-day war.
