Iran shoots down US drone

A US military drone has been shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile while in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, US officials say.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it shot down the drone over Iranian airspace, near Kuhmobarak in the southern province of Hormozgan.

IRGC commander Maj-Gen Hossein Salami said the incident sent "a clear message to America", state media said.

It comes at a time of escalating tension between the US and Iran.

    Which will be hilarious because he ran as the anti-Jeb, non interventionist, America first, non globalist candidate in 2016 and his base will all fall in line.

    I wonder if Trump will send Rodman to meet with the Ayatollahs and perhaps deliver a copy of Art of the Deal.

    Ethan Hawke starred in an excellent though disturbing  movie that really gives some thought provoking insight into drones and modern war. 

    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Hey soul-eater. No more wars. There are other options, non-violent options to deal with a situation. Stop stoking the flames of war and trying to act like a tough guy. If you wouldn't send your own sons and daughters to war, and we know you wouldn't, don't send anyone else's sons and daughters to war. Figure out how to deal without bombs.

    Did the US shoot down an Iranian drone?  Or was it the other way around?  Hard to tell via this thread.

    No one has said that a US drone wasnt shot down. Not even Iran.

    WH is downplaying it as a possible mistake made by an overzealous/incompetent individual in the Iran military.
