IRAN has been accused of using a fake photo in an attempt to 'prove' a US drone was over its territory before being shot down.
State-run IRNA news agency shared an image of a damaged drone falling to Earth to illustrate its report.
But in a shocking twist it subsequently emerged that the same image - albeit in a wider crop - was previously used on a report of a drone being shot down over Yemen two year's ago.

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency released this picture - which has now been branded a fake that actually shows a drone being shot down over Yemen.

The same photograph - albeit in a wider crop - had previously appeared in a two-year-old report of a spy drone being shot down over Yemen in 2017
Attention Achmeds:
In case you haven’t noticed, we don’t need U-2s or SR-71s any more. Satellites work just fine.
(More than 40 years ago, we could tell the rank of a Soviet soldier if a satellite passed overhead his station whilst he was outside.)
These are some stupid people.
They did this same sort of thing when they captured, humiliated and held for ransom some of our navy personnel they claimed were in their territorial waters a few yrs ago.
Ostupid paid them billions of dollars to gain their release.
The evidence they used turned out to have altered.
except u2s can loiter.
Trump should tell them “We are about to blow up your military base- you hive 15 minutes to evacuate.”
Then do it.
Or a few ships.
Hi.
Maybe it’s time for the Persians to lose their navy again?

Nothing will be done to Iran for shooting down drone.
Yeah, sure!!!! Maybe more sanctions, half don't work.
We just lost a major asset...Iran is about to lose alot more.
“My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

Not sure what percentage of sanctions work, but the current sanctions on Iran have been relatively devastating for their economy:
