Pompeo, speaking at a counter-terrorism summit in Buenos Aires, also repeated an offer from U.S. President Donald Trump for talks without preconditions. U.S.-Iran tensions have risen since Trump last year abandoned a nuclear deal under which Tehran agreed to curtail its nuclear program in return for the lifting of global sanctions crippling its economy.
Pompeo reaffirmed in Buenos Aires that the drone had been brought down, despite denials from Iran, including from Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif who has said he was not aware of any downing of an Iranian drone in the strategic waterway.
