Trump says U.S. Navy ship shot down Iranian drone

By Adam Edelman

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that a U.S. Navy ship shot down an Iranian drone over the Strait of Hormuz ? the latest in a series of tense incidents between the U.S. and Tehran.

Trump told reporters at the White House Thursday that the USS Boxer ? a U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship ? ?took defensive action? against an Iranian drone that had ?closed into a very, very near distance, approximately 1,000 yards? and ignored ?multiple calls to stand down.?

    The most telling phrase there is "amphibious assault ship."

    ...not so sure advertising on the evening news the ?new anti-drone technology? along with showing the actual equipment used was the wisest move (Why show yer cards?) but, last I checked, nobody asked me anyway. Good to know it worked.
