Iran releases video claiming to be of US drone missile strike as Trump administration begins 'measured response'

Iran has released a video it claims is a missile strike that took out a US drone.

The video comes as tensions between the US and Iran have been strained, with Donald Trump saying that taking out the American drone was a "big mistake".

In the video, credited to Iran Military Tube, a surface to air missile can be seen launching and leaving behind a cloud of dust, and then exploding after hitting a target in the nighttime sky.

The video then cuts to a map of the region, with the American drone's flight path before an animation shows the aircraft exploding.
