U.S. Downs Iranian Drone Near USS Abraham Lincoln

U.S. forces shot down an Iranian drone that aggressively approached the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, with no American personnel harmed. Later, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps harassed the U.S.-flagged oil tanker Stena Imperative near the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a response from the USS McCaul for escort. U.S. Central Command emphasized that continued Iranian harassment will not be tolerated and increases regional risks. President Trump stated he has communicated with Iran about halting nuclear activities and stopping violence against protesters.
