U.S. military officials deny reports that American military jet forced down in Iran

(CNN) - U.S. military officials disputed Iranian media reports on Tuesday that Iranian fighter jets intercepted a U.S. military plane after it violated Iranian airspace.

Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency reported that the "Falcon fighter" was forced to land at an Iranian airport after entering the country's airspace from Turkey at low altitude to evade radar.

Two top U.S. military officials told CNN's Barbara Starr that no U.S. military aircraft has been forced down. But U.S. officials noted that the aircraft may have belonged to another government agency or perhaps the Iraqi government.
