Iran shoots down US drone in what Navy calls 'unprovoked attack'

Published 7:50 AM EDT Jun 20, 2019

U.S. Defense officials and Iranian authorities provided alternative details on the incident, with Iran saying the drone was brought down over the southern coast of its Hormozgan Province. The Pentagon said the incident happened in international waters over the Strait of Hormuz. Guard The two countries have escalated their rhetoric since two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman last week. The United States blames Iran for the attacks, but Tehran denies responsibility.

I hope we do something so they know not to mess with US. None of this pusay footing around.

Salami?

Trump will give a response as soon as Netanyahu gives him one 🤣

Doing great iran

Don’t want to get into a fight? Don’t throw the first punch.

US made a very big mistake by sending a drone into Iran's airspace to spy over Iran.

AltruistcMystic We should have evolved past this point as a species. It’s time for the whales to take over. Or Elephants, dolphins, bonobos, etc. we are a silly species.

General Purpose Salami

Don’t fly drones over another mans land.

sadly we cannot believe a Damn word that comes out of realDonaldTrump administration

Idiots, could of let drone fly by and lodged a complaint with UN. You gonna get your war, sad

Why do liberals want Iran to have a nuke?

Salami just provoked war the dummy. Get in your bunkers

Well that’s not good.... 😳😳

realjohnbacon Hello, hi realjohnbacon I’m confused, what is the definition of “unprovoked”?

Update: More information, including President Donald Trump's response.

What? No friendly skies treaty w Iran? Can we fly over NK too?

That was unwise to say the least. Iran just started a war. WTF

Salami better have his ass deep in a bunker.

Flying a military drone over another's country's territory is an of aggression. When Putin's Russia does it we accuse Putin of aggression. Iran was right to shoot it down.

'Unprovoked ' ? A spy/attack drone is in itself a provocation. Period.

Well, Captain Pepperoni and Brigadier Baloney totally disagree with that statement...

Hmm. Maybe we should stick to losing wars that don’t have air defense

Lmao. Spying is probably provoking.

there will be no war,just 40 years old drama to create fear and tension between Iran and Gulf Kingdoms,and to sell out of date weapons to Gulf Kingdoms who don't have any armed forces but security forces to protect ruling classes from their own citizens.

For sure since we as Americans can't trust the Trump administration, First let me reiterate that the Trump administration has been for two and more years beating the drum of how we can't trust the intelligence community. So if there is skepticism it is of Trump doing.

LoL

Live look the next plane flying into Iranian airspace to make itself a General Salami sandwich 🇺🇸 BootInYourAss Merica

I share this article

A very BIG slap to USA.

Major Salami!? Ehhh, he's just salty. 😜

Really?

trouseredapes Salami shot down a drone. Stay away from Mr. Cold Cuts, bad meat, mess you up.

General Salami?

Trump and his Iran hating ilk are just edging toward a war. Maybe they'll find the 'weapons of mass destruction.' smh

I don't want to live in a world where having a deli meat surname prevents me from holding power.
