Incident with Iranian Drone
U.S. forces shot down an Iranian Shahed-139 drone near the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea after it aggressively approached the carrier, prompting concerns over unclear intent. The drone was engaged by an F-35C fighter jet, with no injuries or damages reported. This event occurred amid heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, with diplomatic talks planned. Additionally, IRGC boats harassed a U.S.-flagged tanker, which was escorted safely by the USS McFaul.
