美伊无人机危机因何而起？
The US and Iran have been enemies for decades. The downing of a US MQ-1 Predator drone by Iran has pushed them toward war. Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed it shot down the surveillance aircraft. This happened days after the US Defense Secretary said Washington keeps a military option if diplomacy fails. The sharp rise in tension has sparked global worry about a clash.
The immediate trigger was the US warning. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that while the US prefers talks, it has not taken the military option off the table. Confronted with tough sanctions, Iran viewed this as an open threat. In a show of strength, Tehran ordered its forces to bring down the drone, making clear it would not be cowed.
