"The US military says it has shot down an Iranian drone that aggressively approached the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. The Iranian Shahed-139 drone was flying toward the carrier with unclear intent when it was shot down by a F-35 US fighter jet, US Central Command said on Tuesday. An F-35C fighter jet from Abraham Lincoln shot down the Iranian drone in self-defence and to protect the aircraft carrier and personnel on board,"
"The shooting down came as diplomats attempted to arrange nuclear talks between Iran and the US, and President Donald Trump said that with US warships heading toward Iran bad things would probably happen unless a deal could be reached. Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said on Tuesday he had instructed the country's foreign minister to pursue fair and equitable negotiations with the US, the first clear sign Tehran wants"
A US F-35C fighter jet from the Abraham Lincoln carrier shot down an Iranian Shahed-139 drone in the Arabian Sea after the unmanned aircraft approached the carrier with unclear intent. US Central Command said the strike was conducted in self-defence to protect the ship and personnel, and that no US service members or equipment were harmed. The incident coincided with diplomatic efforts to arrange nuclear talks between Iran and the US, and President Donald Trump linked US naval movements to potential consequences if no deal is reached. Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian instructed the foreign minister to pursue fair negotiations, signaling Tehran's willingness to engage.
