伊朗击落美军无人机，美方警告或将动武
An already volatile standoff between Washington and Tehran took a dangerous turn on Monday when Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard announced it had shot down an American MQ-1 reconnaissance drone. The incident, which Iran claimed occurred over its coastal airspace near the Strait of Hormuz, came just days after the U.S. Defense Secretary cautioned that the Pentagon retains a credible military option should nuclear negotiations collapse. The timing of the shootdown has stoked fears that a miscalculation could trigger a direct clash between the long-time foes.
In the immediate aftermath, American officials confirmed the loss of the unmanned aircraft but insisted it was operating in international airspace. A senior commander warned that such “unprovoked attacks” would be met with a firm response, while the White House reiterated that all options, including the use of force, remain on the table. The language marked a notable shift from earlier diplomatic overtures, signaling that Washington’s patience is wearing thin as it balances pressure with the pursuit of a renewed nuclear deal.
