War On The Horizon ? Iran Shoots Down US Drone Over International Airspace by Daffydoc(op): 9:14am On Jun 20, 2019
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.
One official told Reuters news agency the drone was a US Navy MQ-4C Triton.

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

It comes at a time of escalating tension between the US and Iran.
On Monday, the US defence department said it was deploying 1,000 extra troops to the region in response to "hostile behaviour" by Iranian forces.

The US has accused Iran of attacking oil tankers with mines in the Gulf of Oman, which is just outside the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the US claims are fabricated.

Tensions were further fuelled on Monday when Iran said its stockpile of low-enriched uranium would next week exceed limits it agreed with world powers under a landmark nuclear deal in 2015.

Iran stepped up its production in response to tightening economic sanctions from the US, which unilaterally withdrew from the deal last year.

War in an election year is very tricky.

Iran shot down US drone over its airspace now US is claiming Iran shot it down over international airspace. This is not the first time US drones would make forays into Iran. Let's take a look at the 2011 incident when Iran hacked into a US RQ-Reaper drone over its airspace and US denied but later acknowledged it and took the case to UN security council telling Iran to release the captured drone. What about the boeing-insitu scan eagle that Iran shot down over its airspace?

The question is why is US sending her drones into Iran. This US is a trouble maker they want war and they are going to service it with their billions this time, Iran and her shia allies are well prepared for them. US should be ready to fight another prolonged war.
