Iran has claimed it has "captured" an unmanned US drone over Gulf waters after it entered Iranian airspace.
"The unmanned US drone patrolling Persian Gulf waters, performing reconnaissance and gathering intel, was captured as soon as it entered Iranian airspace," the Revolutionary Guards said in a statement on Tuesday
The elite unit's naval forces added the drone was of ScanEagle type which takes off from battleships.
It did not elaborate on how the aircraft was "captured".
A US Navy spokesman later said that no US drones were missing in the Middle East.
The ScanEagle is manufactured by Boeing Co. According to the firm's website, the drone is four feet long and has a 10-foot (three-metre) wingspan.
