American ship lowers Iranian fears in the Strait of Hormuz (Video)

He said the USS Boxer, an attack ship amphibe, shot at the drive in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, destroying it.

The collapse of the Iranian Dron further increases already high tensions in the Gulf region.

U n SS Boxer is part of a group of marine ships located in the straits, between the Persian Gulf and Oman Bay, which marks a larger US military presence in the region.

The incident comes four weeks after Iran dropped an American surveillance threat flying over international airspace in the same area.

President Trump told reporters Thursday that “U n SS Boxer took protective measures against the Iranian aircraft, which was flying at a distance of about 1,000 meters, ignoring numerous calls to leave. The president said Iranian fears were threatening the safety of the ship and its crew.

The president added that you fear “immediately destroyed”.

He said that the drive's actions, approaching the USS Boxer, are the last “amid many provocative and hostile actions against ships operating in the international waters”.

President Trump said the United States “reservates the right to protect its personnel and facilities”. He said the US condemns Iran's efforts to cause disturbances in global freedom and trade.

He also called on other “countries to protect their ships when they pass through the groundlock” and work with the US in the future.
