James Clapper also urged caution and dialogue in the wake of the downing of a U.S. drone by the Iranian military.
IRGC announced
During his CNN interview, Clapper urged caution and dialogue, pointing out that"both" Iran and the U.S. could be correct in their assessment. He pointed out that Strait of Hormuz is relatively narrow and its possible that the drone briefly entered Iranian airspace but by the time it was shot down, perhaps it had returned to international airspace. The intelligence analyst also cautioned that"first reports are never quite accurate.
"It could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it," the president said."I would imagine it was a general or somebody who made a mistake in shooting the drone down," he continued."Fortunately, that drone was unarmed. It was not—there was no man in it—it was in international waters but we didn't have a man or woman in the drone, we had nobody in the drone. Would have made a big, big difference.
