The US Navy shot down an Iranian drone in the Arabian Sea as it approached the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier.
According to Reuters, US officials reported that the drone was a Shahid-139 and that it was intercepted and destroyed by a US F-35 fighter jet.
The drone was deemed a potential threat, prompting defensive action to be taken. This incident occurs against the backdrop of already tense relations in the region, where military tensions between the US and Iran are escalating.
