Two US airplanes violated Iran's airspace in the southwestern oil-rich province of Khuzestan, Iran's state television Sunday quoted a local military commander as saying on its website. "Two aircraft on Saturday trespassed into Iranian airspace northwest of Abadan before flying southwest into Iraq," said Colonel Aqili, commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Abadan. Colonel Aqili said the planes cast out white smoke trails, attracting the local people's attention but did not identify the types of the two US airplanes or their duration of the alleged violation. He also said that US airplanes had violated Iranian airspace several times in the past, but he did not provide details on the incident. Iranian troops had on January 16 shot down a US pilotless spy drone when it was trying to cross the borders "during the last few days," Seyed Nezam Mola Hoveizeh, a member of the Iranian parliament, was quoted as saying. However, the Hoveizeh gave no exact date of the downing or any other details about the incident, but said "the United States sent such spy drones to the region every now and then."
