A plane forced to land in Iran after it accidentally entered Iranian airspace was a Hungarian plane, and not a U.S. aircraft as originally reported, according to Reuters.

The semi-official Fars news agency in Iran reported Tuesday that a U.S. Military plane was forced to land there, despite a Pentagon denial that all U.S. planes were accounted for.

In Washington, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Patrick Ryder, a Defense Department spokesman, said he had no information that any such incident had occurred and was checking the report.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said he has no information about the case. Other Iranian officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

State-owned Al-Alam television quoted an unidentified senior Iranian official saying it belonged to a European aid agency. Neither report indicated when the incident took place.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said he had no information about the case.

Fars reported that Iranian fighters guided the plane to an Iranian airport, where the passengers were questioned and released a day later.

FOXNews' Jennifer Griffin, Amy Kellogg and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
