The terrorist Iranian regime shot down a US drone in international waters earlier today for no reason. Trump is playing coy about what he’s going to do in retaliation, giving the Iranians a chance to try and wiggle out of what they did. Personally, I’ve had enough of Iran. Unlike in Syria where they only attack their own people and not Americans, Iran needs to be bombed back to the stone age. John Kerry can suck up to the Mullahs all he wants in Iran, but time’s up for this terrorist regime. In over 40 years the Iranian Revolutionary Guard needs to be destroyed. Iran has been given far too much leeway from both Bush presidents to Clinton to Obama. So far Trump has been a tough talker on Iran but not done anything to make them pay. That time is now.

President Trump warned Thursday that America “will not stand” for Iran shooting down a U.S. drone over the Strait of Hormuz, while at the same time leaving open the possibility that the attack was unintentional.
“They made a very big mistake,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I find it hard to believe it was intentional, and it could have been someone who was loose and stupid,” he added.
The remarks left unclear the likelihood of a U.S. response. Congressional leaders, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were scheduled to attend a White House for a briefing on Iran at 3 p.m. ET, sources told Fox News.
The downing of the drone, via surface-to-air missile, was the most recent Iranian provocation in the region, coming on the heels of a disputed attack on a pair of oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman last week — which the U.S. has blamed on Iran.
