So, false flag anybody?? Because the US does not want to negotiate with Iran- I can’t see that being realistic. Look at the bogus Russian peace negotiations- that’s theater my friends– claiming to negotiate with Iran is the same– Reminder, we’ve seen the negotiation show with Iran prior to the 12 days war.
Of course the aircraft carrier is aggressively stationed near Iran! But, let’s present the news in a way it can be later spun, right?
A U.S. navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that was approaching the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday, threatening to ramp up tensions as the Trump administration warns of possible military action to get Iran to the negotiating table.
The drone “aggressively approached” the aircraft carrier with “unclear intent” and kept flying toward it “despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces operating in international waters,” Central Command spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said in a statement.
What’s an aggressive approach?
The shootdown occurred within hours of Iranian forces harassing a U.S.-flagged and U.S.-crewed merchant vessel that was sailing in the Strait of Hormuz, the American military said.
So, the American’s were sailing in the Strait of Hormuz, just prior to the drone “aggressively approaching”–
The developments could escalate the heightened tensions between the longtime adversaries as U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to use military action first over Iran’s bloody crackdown on nationwide protests and then to try to get the country to make a deal over its nuclear program.
The US instigates, Iran responds? Perhaps the US should just move it’s massive military build up elsewhere. That build up is quite an escalation
Trump’s Republican administration has built up military forces in the region, sending the aircraft carrier, guided-missile destroyers, air defence assets and more to supplement its presence.
The Shahed-139 drone was shot down by an F-35C fighter jet from the Lincoln, which was sailing about 800 kilometres from Iran’s southern coast, Hawkins said. No American troops were harmed, and no U.S. equipment was damaged, the military’s statement noted.
