The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) denied US claims that its unmanned aircraft "was flying over international waters when it was shot," according to state TV.

The IRGC downed the US drone on Thursday, saying that the aircraft had violated Iran's airspace. 

According to the report, the IRGC issued "numerous" warnings before shooting down the aircraft.
