Iran claimed on Sunday that it shot down a US C-130 support aircraft in southern Isfahan, Anadolu reports.

The plane was destroyed “by heavy fire from a police special forces unit,” the semi-official Tasnim News Agency claimed, citing Iranian police.

In a statement carried by the state news agency IRNA, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said “joint operations involving the Aerospace Force, ground units, popular and Basij forces, law enforcement, and the Army successfully destroyed the enemy aircraft.”
