Reports: US Drone Shot Down Over Iran Nuke Site
Source: MSNBC

A U.S. drone was shot down while flying over a nuclear facility in Iran, according to reports in the Iranian media.

Iran's Fars news agency reported that lawmaker Ali Aqazadeh Dafsari, a member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, had confirmed the unmanned spy plane was flying near the Fordo nuclear enrichment plant in Qom province when it was brought down by Revolutionary Guard soldiers.

It did not say when the alleged incident happened.

Dafsari told Fars that the drone was trying to gather information about the nuclear facility for the CIA.

1. Illegal plane violating country's airspace

Provoke provoke provoke.

I swear this article sounds like they did a bad thing shooting down OUR precious fucking spy plane.

Meanwhile, the company that makes them for the fatherland is gleeful as they get to bill another couple billion for a shiny new spy plane.

America, Fuck Yeah indeed.

3. Which part don't you believe? That the US is using spy drones
or that Iran shot one down?

Both seem plausible.

5. LOL-- The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Sadly, I don't put much stock in what either says :(

7. Iran has "shot one down" is a lie they have used in the past. But
I have no doubt that spy drones are being used.
