An unkown UAV reportedly crashed near Natanz in Iran. Initial claims suggested the UAV was an Israeli Elbit Hermes 450. Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that its forces had intercepted and shot it down with a surface-to-air missile.
Israel denied the drone was theirs and a military analyst suggested the UAV resembled an Iranian Shahed 129.
