Navy shoots down Iranian drone near U.S. aircraft carrier
A Navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that was approaching a U-S military aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. U-S Central Command says the drone “aggressively approached” the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln with “unclear intent.” A spokesman says the drone “continued to fly toward the ship despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces operating in international waters.” The incident threatens to increase tensions as the Trump administration warns of possible military action to get Iran to the negotiating table.
