Evidence
I could not complete the search. The first attempt returned results I failed to parse. Later attempts failed with a 'server tool use limit exceeded' error. I saw no articles from Press TV, Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat or EUvsDisinfo about this claim. I found no independent corroboration and no existing fact-check.
Assessment
Searching did not produce any evidence for or against the claim, so it cannot be confirmed or rejected. The claim is attributed to Press TV, but I could not check it.
Confidence
Little or no independent corroboration was found - this reflects the current state of public evidence, not a guess.
