World Panorama - Episode 379 | Iran Shoots down US Drone Aircraft
Update: 2019-06-22
Description
Tensions between US and Iran have escalated. after an unmanned US drone was shot down in the strait of Hormuz by Iran, which accused America of spying in its airspace in the south of the country. The US military said the drone was in international airspace. President Donald Trump labelled the downing of the drone as a ‘big mistake’. He approved but then aborted strikes against Iranian targets on Thursday. Later Trump described in more detail his decision to pull back strikes on Iran, saying he didn't feel an attack that left 150 dead was proportionate to the downing of a US drone. Relations between the two adversaries have taken a dangerous turn this week, beginning with the Trump administration's decision on Monday to deploy 1,000 additional troops and more military resources to the Middle East. This after US blamed Iran for conducting attacks against oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. Tehran denied the accusations.
