US Seeks to Retaliate For US Drone Shot Down by Iran
Tensions are escalating between the US and Iran. On Thursday, Iran shot down a United States military drone which the US claims was is in international air space. Last week, US officials blamed Iran for attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. A US military operation to strike Iran in retaliation for the downed drone was set to begin Thursday night when President Trump called it off.
