    Central Command

    "A U.S. Navy RQ-4 was flying over the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz
    on a surveillance mission in international airspace in the vicinity of
    recent IRGC maritime attacks when it was shot down by an IRGC surface to air
    missile fired from a location in the vicinity of Goruk, Iran.

    This was an unprovoked attack on a U.S. surveillance asset that had not
    violated Iranian airspace at any time during its mission.

    This attack is an attempt to disrupt our ability to monitor the area
    following recent threats to international shipping and free flow of
    commerce.

    Iranian reports that this aircraft was shot down over Iran are categorically
    false.

    The aircraft was over the Strait of Hormuz and fell into international
    waters.

    At the time of the intercept, the RQ-4 was operating at high-altitude
    approximately 34 kilometers from the nearest point of land on the Iranian
    coast.

    This dangerous and escalatory attack was irresponsible and occurred in the
    vicinity of established air corridors between Dubai, UAE, and Muscat Oman,
    possibly endangering innocent civilians."
