A U.S. high-altitude drone was shot down Thursday by an Iranian surface-to-air missile over the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions in the region after last week’s attacks on two oil tankers, a source told Fox News.

A commander for Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the shooting sends `a clear message' to the U.S. He said while Iran has no intention of war with anyone, it's "ready for war."... (MQ-4C drone).

You must be pretty happy with the outcome in this situation. I truly thought this incident was going to escalate no matter what we thought was right or wrong. Hopefully, there will be no more shoot downs and people will step back from the cliff. Hopefully, the additional sanctions and patience by the adminstration will work and push the Mullahs to the table or cause them to be overthrown.

I'm really impressed with President Trump here.

And I'm quite intrigued about the reports about what allegedly transpired in the White House with the "air/missile strike that was called back." Not that I believe the reports are entirely true, but that they were leaked to the media for a reason.
