how many u.s predator class drones have iran shot down

Iran has shot down at least one U.S. Predator-class drone in the recent reporting I found, specifically a U.S. MQ-1 drone, which is part of the Predator family.

What the reporting says

  • U.S. and regional reports say Iran downed an American MQ-1 drone over the weekend in late May/early June 2026.
  • Those reports also describe the U.S. response as strikes on Iranian radar and drone sites.
  • I did not find evidence in the retrieved sources of a higher confirmed count for U.S. Predator-class drones shot down by Iran.

Important nuance

  • “Predator-class” usually refers to the MQ-1 Predator family, so the reporting fits that category.
  • If you meant all U.S. drone types, not just Predator-class, the count would be different and would need a broader check.
