Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it had shot down a US MQ-1 Predator drone over the Strait of Hormuz
Question
Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it had shot down a US MQ-1 Predator drone over the Strait of Hormuz
Direct answer
If confirmed, the incident would raise the perceived cost of US surveillance and air operations around Hormuz; because the claim is not independently confirmed, market direction is less certain.
