So the Iranians thought they could buzz a US warship with a drone. Bad idea terrorists. The US warship shot down the Iranian drone and destroyed it. Look for the Iranian to throw another temper tantrum and the Democrats to support Iran. This is of course all made possible by the billions of dollars the Obama/Biden terrorist sympathizer socialists gave them.

A U.S. warship destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions between the two countries, President Trump announced Thursday.
“The U.S. reserves the right to defend personnel, facilities, interests,” he said.
Trump said the USS Boxer took defensive action after the drone closed to within 1,000 yards of the warship and ignored multiple calls to stand down. The president called it the latest “hostile” action by Iran.
Marines on board took down the drone using electronic jamming equipment, U.S. officials told Fox News later Thursday.
Trump also called on other countries to condemn what he described as Iran’s attempts to disrupt the freedom of navigation and global commerce in the strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf region.
