MNA � Chairman of the central committee for commemoration of the Sacred Defense Week, Bahman Kargar said on Wednesday that shooting down the US drone was more of a representation of Iran�s scientific capability rather than its missile power.

Hitting the American drone by Iranian domestically produced missile astonished all the international powers since Iran�s scientific ability was much higher than what they assumed.

He noted that any trespassing on Iran�s red lines would end into a similar destination to that of the US drone.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have increased since US President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled Washington out of a nuclear deal last year and reimposed economic sanctions on Iran.

The conflicts have escalated in recent weeks after a series of incidents. In late June, a US spy drone violated Iran�s airspace and ignored Iran�s warnings before being targeted by IRGC�s air defense. Following the incident, Trump signed an executive order to impose new sanctions against Iran targeting Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and top IRGC commanders.
