Tehran - Iranian fighter jets have forced a US warplane to land in Iran, the Fars news agency reported on Tuesday.
It said the plane had entered Iranian air space without permission.
The Pentagon has since said it has no reports that any of its aircraft are missing.
"According to the combined air operations centre, all our aircraft are accounted for and we have no reports of any aircraft landing in Iran," said spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Ryder.
