Iranian Guard says US drone killed 2 of its advisers in Iraq; US says it only struck militants
Iran's Revolutionary Guard says a US drone strike has killed two of its advisers in Iraq, though the US says it has only struck militants in its campaign.
The claim comes as negotiators on Monday attempted to reach a deal on Iran's contested nuclear program.
The Guard said on its sepahnews.ir website the strike happened March 23, just after the US-led coalition began airstrikes to support Iraqi forces trying to retake the Islamic State-held city of Tikrit. It identified the dead as Ali Yazdani and Hadi Jafari, saying they were buried Sunday. It called them advisers.
