Iranian Jets Fire On US Drone by fergusen: 9:38pm On Nov 08, 2012
Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf last week, CNN has learned.
The incident raises fresh concerns within the Obama administration about Iranian military aggression in crucial Gulf oil shipping lanes.
The drone was in international airspace east of Kuwait, U.S. officials said, adding it was engaged in routine maritime surveillance.
Although the drone was not hit, the Pentagonis concerned.
Two U.S. officials explained the jets were part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps force, which has been more confrontational than regular Iranian military forces.
The Obama administration did not disclose the incident, which occurred just days before the presidential election on November 1, but three senior officials confirmed the details to CNN.
The officials declined to be identified becauseof sensitive intelligence matters surrounding the matter.
The drone’s still and video cameras captured the incident showing two SU-25s approaching the Predator and firing its onboard guns.
The Iranian pilots continued to fire shots thatwent beneath the Predator but were never successful in hitting it, according to the officials.
U.S. military intelligence analysts are still not sure if the Iranian pilots simply were unable to hit the drone due to lack of combat skill, orwhether they deliberately were missing and had no intention of bringing down the drone. But as one of the officials said, “it doesn’t matter, they fired on us.”
The official confirmed the United States protested the incident but has not heard back from Iran.
Iran has, at times, been confrontational in theregion. In January, the U.S. military and coast guard had close encounters with Iranian Navy vessels which approached at high speeds and exhibited provocative behavior.

They are probably within their rights to do so since Iran controls some airspace above the gulf. Russian made Su-25's are kinda old school grin

Don't believe everything the western media tells you. I was under the impression people will learn after Bush and his WMD's in Iraq undecided

United states turned a blind eye when Israel got WMD's, Pakistan same thing, India same, so why is Iran different? They messed up Iran in the first place so they should just STFU and mind their own business. I'm hoping Obama will make a less aggressive america

The guy neatly kept a sealed lips about dis but was rather busy making d usual sweet speeches during supersandy.
In dis crucial 2nd chance, will americans even know when national security is at risk?
No use reconsidering your choice when your vote for the "sweet talking gentleman"has been cast.
