The United States military says it shot down an Iranian drone that approached a US aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, amid continued efforts by regional powers to ease tensions between Washington and Tehran.

The Shahed-139 drone was shot down by an F-35C from the Lincoln, which CENTCOM said was sailing about 800km (500 miles) from Iran’s southern coast.

Apparently Iran has already deployed another Shahed and the IRGC is being coy about whether the drone was attacked, as acknowledging it would require enacting their promised non-symbolic retaliation too soon.
