Iran downs Israeli drone over nuclear enrichment site

Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard said that it brought down an Israeli stealth drone above one of its nuclear enrichment sites on Sunday, reports AlJazeera.

“The downed aircraft was of the stealth, radar-evasive type and it intended to penetrate the off-limit nuclear area in Natanz... but was targeted by a ground-to-air missile before it managed to enter the area" said a statement by the Revolutionary Guards.

Israel has consistently opposed any agreement that allows Iran to keep part of its uranium enrichment programme, saying that Iran could make nuclear weapons.
