Iran has brought down a U.S. "spy drone" flying near its Fordo nuclear enrichment plant in Qom province, state-run media reported Wednesday.
The date of the incident has not been disclosed, and three U.S. officials said there was no indication or information that a U.S. drone was downed.
State-run Press TV reported the development, citing a Tuesday story from another website -- javanonline.ir.
