The Telegraph: Iranian drone flies over US aircraft in Persian Gulf
For the first time since 2014 an Iranian drone flies over a US aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf.
An Iranian drone that flew over a US aircraft carrier last month was the first to conduct an overflight of a US carrier since 2014, according to a US Navy report obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The January 12 reconnaissance by the Iranian Shahed drone marked the latest tense naval encounter between forces of the Islamic Republic and the US Navy, which includes the recent capture of 10 US sailors who strayed into Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf.
An internal US Navy report on the incident, obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request, said it happened as the USS Harry S. Truman and the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle were 89 nautical miles southwest of the Iranian port of Bushehr.
