NEW: Donald Trump says U.S. shot down Iranian drone as new talks offer emerges
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a U.S. warship shot down an Iranian drone in Strait of Hormuz after it ignored repeated warnings."took defensive action against an Iranian drone which had closed into a very near distance, approximately 1000 yards, ignoring multiple calls to stand down and was threatening the safety of the ship and the ship's crew."
"This is the latest of many provocative and hostile actions by Iran against vessels operating in the international waters the United States reserves right to defend our personnel, our facilities and interests and calls upon all nations to condemn Iran's attempts to dispute global freedom of navigation and global commerce," Trump said.
A RIM-7P missile is fired from a NATO Sea Sparrow missile launcher on the fantail of amphibious assault ship USS Boxer during a live-fire missile exercise, January 29. President Donald Trump said July 18 that the USS Boxer shot down an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz about a month after the Revolutionary Guards downed a U.S. Navy drone nearby.
The top diplomat said this would be"a substantial move" and suggested there"there are other substantial moves that can be made." He emphasized, however, that Iran was not interested in a mere"photo op" or"a two-page document with a big signature."
