The United States has denied that one of its aircrafts was shot down in Bushehr province of Iran.
This contradicts an earlier claim by Iranian media that Tehran had destroyed a hostile aircraft in the area, which is the site of the country’s only nuclear power plant.
According to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the governor of Jam county in Bushehr province, Masoud Tangestani, said following the alleged downing of the aircraft, Iran remained in a normal state.
Meanwhile, earlier on Thursday, Iranian media reported that Iranian air defenses shot down a US drone over the southern province of Bushehr.
A military source cited by the semi-official Tasnim news agency stated that the drone was intercepted and destroyed by a surface-to-air missile.
Tangestani confirmed the aircraft’s destruction, noting that the situation in the district had returned to normal.

As the Champions League final approaches in Budapest this Saturday, the Opta Supercomputer has predicted the outcome of the match between PSG and Arsenal:
The Analyst reports that the Opta supercomputer has given the title holders, PSG, a 56% probability of successfully defending their Champions League trophy, while Arsenal is projected to achieve a double in 44% of the scenarios.
The most prestigious trophy in European club football is at stake in Budapest this Saturday, where the continent’s leading offense will face its premier defense.
PSG aims to be the first club other than Real Madrid to successfully defend the trophy in the UCL era, while Arsenal seeks to become the fourth distinct club to win the English top-flight title and the European championship in the same season.
PSG’s standout player, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, leads all players in this season’s Champions League knockout rounds with the highest goal involvements (10) and is the first to score or assist in seven consecutive UCL knockout appearances within a single campaign.
Historically, only three English clubs have managed to win both the top-flight title and the European Cup or Champions League in the same season: Liverpool (in both 1976-77 and 1983-84), Manchester United (in 1998-99 and 2007-08), and Manchester City (in 2022-23).
On Saturday, the newly crowned Premier League champions, Arsenal, will strive to join this elite group as they compete in their first UCL final in two decades.
Conversely, Paris Saint-Germain is working to become the first club other than Real Madrid to defend the trophy in the Champions League era (since 1992-93) – Los Blancos notably achieved this feat three times consecutively from 2015-16 to 2017-18.
The grand event on Saturday, hosted at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, will showcase a contest between the reigning champions and the challengers, both of whom possess relatively limited experience on the continental stage.
Champions League final: Supercomputer makes final prediction ahead of PSG vs Arsenal clash
AC Milan legend, Andrea Pirlo, has revealed the advantage Arsenal have over Paris Saint-Germain ahead of both sides’ UEFA Champions League final.
According to the Italian, the Gunners boast at least three players – Gabriel, William Saliba and Kai Havertz – who excel in the air.
Pirlo told Sky Sports, “Arsenal have two central defenders [Gabriel and Saliba] and a striker [Kai Havertz] who are very good in the air. They will look to take advantage.
“Arsenal have the ability in these situations because they study it.
“PSG does not have these big jumpers, so they will have to look for different solutions.”

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, battle for the Ogun State governorship seat took a chaotic turn on Monday, as parallel gubernatorial primaries were held, producing two rival governorship candidates.
Within 24 hours, Jimi Lawal and Biodun Ogundipe were separately announced winners of the primary election.
DAILY POST reports that the election result which pronounced Lawal was announced at the party’s Secretariat, while the other was at Basic Trust International, Oke Ilewo Abeokuta, on Monday.
Recall that the party had three aspirants vying for the ticket: Jimi Lawal, Abiodun Collins Ogundipe, and U.S.-based medical doctor Dr. Marie Bolaji Odusina.
The election was conducted across the 236 wards of the State over the weekend.
Speaking at the party’s secretariat, the National Organizing Secretary of the ADC and Secretary of the Ogun State Primary Election Committee, Barrister Adebimpe Adelowo said, Lawal pulled 19,428 votes while Ogundipe got 5,775 votes and Dr. Odusina had 4,825 votes.
His words, “Hon Jimi Lawal scored a total votes of 19,418, Abiodun Collins Ogundipe – 5,775 and Dr. Marie Abolaji Odusina 4,825 votes, therefore Hon Jimi Lawal, having scored the highest number of votes is hereby declared the winner of the Ogun State gubernatorial primary election.
“He is now the governorship candidate of ADC in the coming 2027 general elections. For the avoidance of doubt, Article 14 (13) (iv) of the ADC Constitution empowers the National Organising Secretary to”implement and coordinate all field activities of the party” he added, denying insinuations that the party removed him as the National Organizing Secretary.
One party, two winners
Contrary to the announcement made at the party’s secretariat, Chairman of the other Electoral Committee, Mr. Adeniyi Adams, declared Biodun Collins Ogundipe, popularly known as BCO, as the winner of the primary election after polling the highest number of votes.
The election was overseen by a 11-man electoral committee, which had Moshood Babatunde as secretary, Motunrayo Odumosu, Gbenga Sobowale, Remi Onanuga, Layeni Yemi, and Olaolu Oresanya among others as members.
It also had Roseline Giwa-Amu, Yetunde Morondiya and Muritala Suleimam as members of the appeal committee.
According to them, Ogundipe polled 9,370 votes, Jimi Lawal 6,812 votes while Marie Odusina had 2,349 votes.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after the declaration, Ogundipe stated that the primary contest had ended and that it was time for all party members to band together in order to win the next Ogun State governorship race.
He offered fellowship to other candidates, encouraging them and their backers to view the project as a shared vision for Ogun State’s advancement and development.
He said, “We are one family in ADC. This is the time for unity, reconciliation, and collective commitment to victory. I call on all aspirants and members of our great party to join hands together so we can win the forthcoming election and deliver good governance to the people of Ogun State.”
U.S based doctor rejects primary outcome, demands fresh exercise
One of the party’s gubernatorial aspirants, Marie Odusina has petitioned the ADC National Chairman, Senator David Mark over alleged irregularities in the conduct of the election.
Odusina, a United States-based pediatrician, insisted that the election exhibited several fundamental breaches of the party’s constitution, the Electoral Act, and established democratic principles guiding internal party primaries in Nigeria.
She revealed that voting took place in different locations within the same ward, contrary to standard electoral protocols that required a single designated polling centre per ward to ensure proper monitoring, accreditation, and result collation.
According to her, these parallel locations created opportunities for confusion and potential manipulation of the process.
“These lapses compromised the integrity, transparency, and credibility of the entire process.The composition of the electoral committee raised serious concerns about impartiality.
“I was not officially informed or provided with the detailed modalities for the conduct of the primaries, including the specific guidelines on voting procedures, accreditation processes, collation centres, and timelines. This lack of prior communication violated the fundamental principle of equal participation and due process that should govern all aspirants in a democratic primary election.
“The election process recorded multiple irregularities across various wards. In several instances, voting took place in different locations within the same ward, contrary to standard electoral protocols that require a single designated polling centre per ward to ensure proper monitoring, accreditation, and result collation.
“These parallel locations created opportunities for confusion and potential manipulation of the process.
She added that in Ogun West voting was still ongoing in some areas long after the official closure of polls in other parts of the state.
“This staggered and uncoordinated timing across polling units further eroded the credibility of the exercise and raised questions about the overall coordination by the electoral committee.
“A reconduction of the gubernatorial primary election under clear, transparent, and uniformly applied modalities is necessary to restore faith in the process.
“This should include the appointment of a new, impartial electoral committee, timely dissemination of guidelines to all aspirants, and strict adherence to single polling locations per ward with synchronized voting timelines across all regions, including Ogun West,” she insisted.
The pediatrician warned that if the party fails to address the irregularities through a proper conduct of another primary, she would seek legal redress to protect the integrity of the process and her rights as an aspirant.
“My participation in the primary was guided by a desire to contribute to good governance in Ogun State through issue-based politics and service delivery.
“Should the party fail to address these concerns through an appropriate reconduction, I shall have no alternative but to seek legal redress in the competent courts of jurisdiction to protect the integrity of the electoral process and my rights as an aspirant” she added.
Recall that earlier this month, some concerned members of ADC from the Ogun East Senatorial District had petitioned the party’s National Secretariat, demanding the disqualification of Jimi Lawal from the primary election.
The members, Olabisi Omolaso, Haruna Owolabi, Keshiro Daniel, Ezekiel Abidemi, Onamuyiwa Olumuyiwa, and Ibrahim Aliyat in the petition highlighted an ongoing criminal prosecution instituted against Lawal by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) among others, arguing that presenting an aspirant heavily burdened with legal battles and integrity issues would severely jeopardize the party’s electoral fortunes in Ogun.
DAILY POST reports that the petition dated May 17, 2026 was received at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on May 18.
They opined that Nigerians need leaders who are trustworthy, open, and morally pure rather than politicians connected to financial scandals and corruption.
Ogundipe remains authentic governorship candidate – Party Spokesperson
When contacted on Tuesday, the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Olumide Onabajo insisted that Biodun Ogundipe remained the authentic candidate and choice of the party.
He described the other election that produced Jimi Lawal as false, null, void and misleading.
Olumide alleged that the duly constituted electoral chairman and secretary sent by the national were Adeniyi Adams and Babatunde Moshood.
He said, “We hereby state categorically that the said announcement is null, void, misleading, and of no effect whatsoever. Barrister Adebimpe Adelowo was not a member of the duly constituted electoral committee sent to Ogun State by the national leadership of our great party to conduct the governorship primary election.
“Therefore, he lacks the authority, legitimacy, and constitutional backing to announce any result on behalf of the party. The chairman of the electoral committee is Adeniyi Adams while the secretary of the committee is Babatunde Moshood.”
He insisted that at the conclusion of the “transparent and credible exercise”, Biodun Ogundipe, emerged victorious and was duly declared winner of the governorship primary election.
“We strongly condemn every attempt by unauthorized individuals to mislead party members and create confusion within the public space through the circulation of fabricated results and false declarations,” it added.
The party’s spokesperson urged all supporters and members of the public to
disregard the fake result being circulated and remain steadfast in supporting the authentic outcome of the election.
I was not involved in the election process – Ogun ADC chair
Reacting to the controversy, Ogun State ADC Chairman Femi Soluade, said he was not directly involved in conducting the governorship primary, nor is he the secretary of the election committee.
Soluade said: “I don’t have any information at this point because I am not the Secretary of the governorship primary election but I will respond appropriately when I get further clarification.”
He added that the party leadership would engage relevant stakeholders to review the situation and address concerns over the conduct of the exercise.

Former Chelsea midfielder, Andy Townsend, has advised new manager Xabi Alonso to replace goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in his starting XI when he arrives at Stamford Bridge.
Townsend believes Sanchez will let Alonso down in big moments when next season starts.
Alonso is taking charge of Chelsea in July after he was appointed as the club’s new manager on a four-year deal following the sacking of Liam Rosenior.
“I think Chelsea needs a goalkeeper,” Townsend told BetVictor.
“Robert Sanchez has produced one or two better performances recently, but I just feel he’s just one of those goalkeepers who will let you down in a big moment.
“He’s got a mistake in him, there’s a mistake never too far away.”
