Evidence

I attempted multiple web searches to find independent corroboration for the specific claim that Iran's IRGC announced it had downed a US drone and set two tankers ablaze near the Strait of Hormuz. However, the web search tool repeatedly returned a 'server tool use limit exceeded' error for every query attempted, including direct searches for the claim text, for related Hormuz tanker/drone incidents, and for any Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo fact-checks on this topic. As a result, no search results of any kind were retrieved, and I was unable to locate any independent news reporting, official IRGC statements, or third-party fact-checking coverage confirming or refuting this specific claim.
