US says it shot down Iranian drone flying towards aircraft carrier
The United States announced on Tuesday that it had shot down an Iranian drone flying towards an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. The incident occurred in the international waters of the Arabian Sea, near the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime chokepoint.
The US Navy stated that the Iranian drone was within a threatening range of the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier and its escorting ships. In response to the perceived threat, a US warship engaged the drone, destroying it before it could pose any harm.
Iran has not yet confirmed the incident or provided any official statement regarding the drone’s purpose. Tensions between the US and Iran have been escalating in recent years, with both countries engaging in a war of words and occasional military encounters in the region. The motive behind the Iranian drone’s presence near the US aircraft carrier remains unclear.
The US has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its forces in the region and stated that it will continue to take necessary measures to protect its personnel and assets. Iran, on the other hand, has often accused the US of provocative actions and aggressive behavior in the Persian Gulf.
The shooting down of the Iranian drone is likely to further strain the already tense relations between the two countries and may lead to heightened military vigilance in the region.
