American military officials at all levels are refusing to comment on a report that the U.S. military shot down an Iranian drone flying over Iraq last month.

The report, carried on Wired.com’s Danger Room, said that an American fighter jet shot down the drone sometime in February, though few other details were available.

But, U.S. officials from the Pentagon to Baghdad had no comment.

"We have nothing for you on that," was the response issued by both Multi-National Force–Iraq and the Pentagon.

Officials at the U.S. Air Force Central Command headquarters referred all questions to MNFI.
