A US plane has been forced to land in Iran after violating Iranian territory, the Iranian semi-official Fars news agency has reported.
It said the Falcon aircraft entered Iranian airspace from Turkey, flying at low altitude to avoid radar.
The agency said the plane was detected by Iranian fighter jets, which forced it to land at an undisclosed airport.
Passengers included five senior American generals and three civilians, the report said.
The agency said the group was interrogated at the airport and then allowed to leave after it was realised they had entered unintentionally.

Iran 'forces down foreign plane' http://news.bbc.co.u...ast/7657066.stm
A foreign aircraft has been forced to land in Iran after violating Iranian airspace, Iranian news agencies say.
The semi-official Fars said the plane was a US Falcon, while state TV said it belonged to a European aid agency.
Both reports said those on board were released a day later, without saying when the event happened.
The Pentagon denied any of its aircraft had been involved in such an incident, saying all were accounted for and that none had landed in Iran.
The Fars report said the aircraft entered Iranian airspace from Turkey, flying at low altitude to avoid radar.
It said the plane was intercepted by Iranian fighter jets and forced to land at an undisclosed airport.
It said its occupants were released a day later after it became clear they had entered the country unintentionally
The plot thickens

*IRAN'S 'STATE NEWS MEDIA' GUYS AND GALS*
...Wasn't even an American Aircraft....certainly no fighter jet etc., IT WAS HUNGARIAN FOLKS,
...This incident took place on 30 Sept. OF COURSE, there were NO American General or officers aboard...and the passengers were released a day later PROBABLY WITHOUT APOLOGIES.
Do think the Iranians are getting NERVOUS. Good reason too. 'Blast them all'/'S'
