Iran Defends Attack on U.S. Drone
[WSJ] Iran's defense minister confirmed that Iranian jets fired at a U.S. drone last week and said Tehran would do it again, disputing the Pentagon's statement that the American aircraft was flying in international airspace.
"Last week an unidentified aircraft entered the airspace over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, which was forced to flee due to the prompt, smart and decisive action of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran's armed forces," Brig Gen. Ahmad Vahidi told Iranian state media Friday.
