TEHRAN -- Iran's Arabic language television station Saturday broadcast footage that it claimed showed a US aircraft carrier cruising in Gulf waters that it said was taken by an unmanned Iranian drone.

The brief minute-long film, which was shown on Al Alam television's evening news bulletin, showed wobbly aerial footage of an aircraft carrier stacked with war planes as it sailed.

The television's anchor said that the film, the property of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard, showed a vessel from "the US fleet in the Persian Gulf."

"A source in the Revolutionary Guard said the drone carried out its mission without US fighter pilots reaching it," the television said.
