Iran says US drone killed 2 Revolutionary Guards

Iran says a US Unmanned Aerial Vehicle attacking in Iraq killed two advisers to the Revolutionary Guards.

A statement published by the Revolutionary Guards says the sortie took place a week ago, shortly after coalition forces started aerial assaults intended to help Iraqi forces reclaim control of Tikrit.

The communique says the two advisers were buried on Sunday.

The US Embassy in Baghdad clarified that the international coalition was only aiming at Islamic State targets and that all aerial attacks were being coordinated with Iraqi authorities.
