Reuters: The U.S. shot down an Iranian drone that approached the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier.
U.S. military forces shot down an Iranian drone that approached the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. This was reported by Reuters, citing an unnamed American official.
The Iranian drone Shahed-139 was allegedly flying towards the aircraft carrier and was shot down by a U.S. F-35 fighter jet.
It was previously reported that U.S. President Donald Trump was presented with an expanded list of potential military measures against Iran. It is specified that it includes raids on facilities located within the territory of the Islamic Republic.
At the same time, the Axios portal reported that Trump, unlike Israeli leadership, does not consider an attack on Iran a necessity at this time. "In fact, it is the Israelis who want to strike. The president holds a different opinion," an unnamed American official told the publication.
