Iran: Revolutionary Guards: The American Hormuz escort operation failed with the downing of American drones.
The Guard claims that the American operation, which it says is really a cover for oil smuggling, has failed, and that Washington is trying to divert attention from closing the Strait of Hormuz. Guard officers reiterated that the strait was closed and warned that any American aggression would be met with a harsher and stronger response. The watchdog also claimed that US drones were continuously downed while a larger number of Iranian drones were being pushed towards US targets.
