(AP) – The commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says the shooting down of a U.S. drone has sent “a clear message” to America.
Gen. Hossein Salami said also says that Iran does “not have any intention for war with any country, but we are ready for war.”
His speech was carried live on Iranian state television on Thursday, shortly after U.S. and Iranian officials acknowledged the shooting down of the drone.
The Guard says it shot down the American drone over Iranian airspace, while U.S. officials told The Associated Press the downing happened over international airspace in the Strait of Hormuz.
The different accounts could not be immediately reconciled.
