The White House is denying Iran’s claim of having captured a U.S. drone in Iranian airspace. Iran has said it seized an unpiloted ScanEagle aircraft conducting surveillance over the Arabian Gulf. But speaking at the White House, Press Secretary Jay Carney rejected Iran’s claims.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney: “I can tell you that we have no evidence that the Iranian claims you cite are true. I’d refer you to the Pentagon’s comments this morning for details about this particular type of UAV. But again, we have no evidence that the Iranian claims are true.”
