Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed in a statement that its forces downed an MQ-9 Reaper drone and opened fire on an F-35 fighter jet and another drone that that had entered Iranian airspace.

In a statement, the IRGC did not reveal when the incidents took place. Last night, the US military carried out what it called “self-defense strikes” targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC warned in the statement that it will retaliate against any ceasefire violations.

“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warns against any violation of the ceasefire by the aggressive US military, and considers its right to reciprocal response to be legitimate and certain,” a statement by the group said according to Iranian state-affliliated media.

Iran’s foreign ministry said the US committed a violation of the ceasefire in the Hormozgan region over the past 48-hours, saying there were “repeated naval harassment against Iranian commercial vessels.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will leave no act of aggression unanswered and will not hesitate in defending the Iranian people with the slightest delay,” a statement said.

US and Iranian forces have previously exchanged fire during the ceasefire, and it’s unclear how the attacks will affect the truce.
