伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队周二表示，它在霍尔木兹海峡上空拦截并击毁了一架美国MQ-9无人机，半官方法尔斯通讯社报道。
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Tuesday said that it intercepted and destroyed a US MQ-9 drone over the Strait of Hormuz, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
革命卫队称，该无人机在周二早些时候飞越该战略水道时被击落，新闻机构报道。
The Revolutionary Guard said the drone was downed early Tuesday while flying over the strategic waterway, the news agency reported.
它宣称，这是该组织迄今为止击落的第54架美国MQ-9无人机，据该机构报道。
It claimed that the aircraft was the 54th US MQ-9 drone it had destroyed, according to the agency.
美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动战争。德黑兰以该地区范围内的导弹和无人机袭击作出回应，实际上封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，而华盛顿随后对伊朗港口实施了海上封锁。
The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28. Tehran responded with missile and drone attacks across the region and effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington later imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
美国和伊朗随后于6月签署了一份关于海峡航行自由的谅解备忘录，但由于该战略水道的安全问题存在分歧，执行进程陷入停滞。
The US and Iran subsequently signed a memorandum of understanding in June concerning freedom of navigation in the strait, but implementation stalled over disagreements related to security in the strategic waterway.
