Have You Heard About The Crazy Things That Iran, China And Russia Just Did?
But instead, we are witnessing almost constant provocations. In fact, I am extremely alarmed by a number of things that Iran, China and Russia have just done. Let me start with breaking news out of the Middle East. It is being reported that a U.S. fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone after it "aggressively approached" the USS Abraham Lincoln…
The U.S. military shot down an unmanned Iranian drone Tuesday after it "aggressively approached a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier with unclear intent," a U.S. Central Command spokesman told Fox News.
"USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was transiting the Arabian Sea approximately 500 miles from Iran's southern coast when an Iranian Shahed-139 drone unnecessarily maneuvered toward the ship," Capt. Tim Hawkins added.
"The Iranian drone continued to fly toward the ship despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces operating in international waters," CENTCOM also said. " An F-35C fighter jet from Abraham Lincoln shot down the Iranian drone in self-defense and to protect the aircraft carrier and personnel on board."
With tensions so high at this moment, why would the Iranians send a Shahed-139 drone directly toward a U.S. aircraft carrier?
Were they just trying to monitor it, or did they intend to test the Abraham Lincoln's defenses?
A short while later, six Iranian gunboats reportedly tried to board a U.S. oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz…
Six Iranian gunboats unsuccessfully attempted to halt a U.S.-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The security firm Vanguard Tech told its clients on Tuesday that the Iranian vessels were armed with 50-caliber guns, and they ordered the oil tanker to turn off its engines and prepare to be boarded. Instead, the tanker sped up and was ultimately escorted to safety by a U.S. Navy vessel, according to the Journal.
We are very fortunate that a naval skirmish did not break out.
A single miscalculation could result in missiles flying all over the Middle East.
Talks that are scheduled for Friday represent the last hope to avoid an apocalyptic war in the region.
Unfortunately, the Iranians are apparently not happy with the venue and the format for the talks…
Iran has demanded changes to the venue and format for negotiations with the United States this Friday, potentially putting the talks at risk of collapse, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios.
