Iranian state TV has shown footage of what it says is an Israeli Hermes 900 drone that was shot down. The video shows parts of the unmanned aircraft spread across a desert area, along with Iranian military officials inspecting the wreckage.
According to Iranian media, the drone entered Iran’s airspace before being targeted and brought down by Iranian forces. Officials claim the drone was being used for surveillance or possibly military purposes. Israel has not officially responded to the claims.
The Hermes 900 is a large surveillance drone made by Israel. It is often used for gathering intelligence and can stay in the air for more than a day. It is also used by other countries, including Switzerland, Chile, and Brazil.
This incident comes during a time of high tension between Iran and Israel. Both countries have been involved in indirect confrontations in the region, especially in Syria and Lebanon. The downing of the drone could increase tensions even further.
Experts say that such actions can lead to more conflict or even military responses. However, some believe both countries may try to avoid direct war.
For now, the situation remains tense, and the international community is watching closely.
