Sure they did
The drone was broadcasting its location on flightradar and then it disappeared so it probably did happen
Right on. I just automatically assumed it was the US trying to justify attacking Iran with some made up shit, it’s a bit of a default for me lately
Shooting down individual surveillance drones isn't that difficult for a navy that size. Both Russia and Ukraine do it all the time, and this one drone was known to be observing CENTCOM movements for a couple days now. They don't need to lie when it was clearly meant as a provocation, though I assume the drone will be framed as a kamikaze FPV drone by the Imperial Press.
