Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced the downing of an MQ-1 drone east of the Strait of Hormuz off the city of Sirik, without details on the circumstances or the party operating it. The announcement coincided with an Iranian warning that any Israeli attack in the Gulf region would have a "destructive" impact on energy markets, and with talk of a new proposal presented by Qatari mediators on the nuclear file.
Two outlets focused on attributing the drone to the United States and linking the incident to the nuclear file and warnings about energy markets, while two others limited themselves to relaying the Revolutionary Guard's announcement, the drone model and the location of the downing, noting the absence of information on the party operating it.
