An Iranian drone flew over a US aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf to take pictures.
The Jerusalem Post has reported The Fars New Agency, which is the state run news for Iran, claimed the recent incident was part of a naval exercise. The report did not name the US carrier.
Cmdr. Kevin Stephens, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet in Bahrain said an unarmed drone flew over the French Charles de Gaulle and the USS Harry S. Truman while the ships were in international waters on Jan 12., but it is not known if the incidents were the same or related to each other.
Earlier this week Iran’s navy conducted drills in the Gulf of Oman and demanded a US warship leave the area – and it did.
Several incidents have occurred lately that have concerned U.S. officials, including the short detainment of U.S. sailors aboard two navy boats and test rocket fire near warships in the strait of Hormuz.
Economic sanctions on Iran have just been lifted by world powers, in exchange for a promise by Iran to curb their nuclear program.
