    Well it's now been confirmed, if it was in international airspace as the U. S claims then expect a kinetic response, if it was over Iran spying then that's just tough love.

    Maybe start by republican guard patrol boats ? In a way that it’s possibly deniable? Still seems a bit much to start a war over .

      It will only be a war if Iran responds to the response.

    What if an Iranian drone flew over DC or NY?
    have no idea if this story true or not...Iran lies constantly...but where was this drone and was it in Iranian territory?

    Shot down big deal. Now hacked and forced to land would be something.

      Pretty much when numerous nations know exactly where that drone was.
      Your crews, are professional enough to know its exact positions. Iranian zirdefence crews not so much.
      This reeks of hard miners in Iraq looking for war not the us.

    In a rational war, Iran and the US would meet to discuss what this issue is, what took place, how such things can be averted. A full war between both sides will not be helpful for the entire region
