F-35 From USS Abraham Lincoln Shoots Down Iranian Drone

“An F-35C fighter jet from Abraham Lincoln shot down the Iranian drone in self-defense and to protect the aircraft carrier and personnel on board. No American service members were harmed during the incident, and no U.S. equipment was damaged,” U.S. Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said in a statement to TWZ. “The unmanned aircraft aggressively approached a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier with unclear intent.”

“USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was transiting the Arabian Sea approximately 500 miles from Iran’s southern coast when an Iranian Shahed-139 drone unnecessarily maneuvered toward the ship,” Hawkins added. “The Iranian drone continued to fly toward the ship despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces operating in international waters.”

The drone shootdown, as well as separate Iranian harassment of a U.S.-flagged merchant ship, comes as American forces keep flowing into the region.

What nonsense, neither China nor Russia could save their friend Maduro in Venezuela.
Nor are either of them willing to help Iran or save it in any way.
They have no global reach in the form of alliances, and more importantly, they are unwilling and unable to build something like NATO. What common ground would they have? The Chinese have zero cultural ties with the other countries around them, and they don't want to build any.
You can't form an alliance with economics, money and infrastructure projects abroad.
China must first solve the problem of its image that it is willing to take risks for another country.

Russia is quite isolated; apart from support from North Korea and Belarus, no one supports it, and it does not support anyone abroad. As soon as the United States intervenes anywhere in the world, you can be sure that Russia and China will withdraw if the country is on the brink.

I don't think Beijing intends to go to war with the US; it doesn't need Russia as an ally.
If China has a trillion-dollar trade surplus with the US and the EU, why would it jeopardize this favorable situation for the sake of Russia and Iran's foreign policy adventures?
The Russian beauty, aging and losing her former beauty, waits in vain for a prince from Beijing.
There's a Chinese proverb: "If you sit patiently by the Yellow River, you'll eventually see your enemy's body washed away by the current."
I think China is adopting a strategic wait-and-see approach.

And all we see in the river is a foolish Maduro, floundering in the waves and crying for help.
Who's next—Putin? Or the Ayatollah?
The world is full of lunatics, opportunists, and fools.
We'll definitely see the rest.

- Broke the gold embargo by selling gold through Turkey - During Rouhani's rule, made a deal with Obama and pulled an operation against Ankara - Asked for help when Raisi's helicopter crashed - The wreckage that couldn't be found in 36 hours was located by a Turkish UAV in 2.5 hours - Said "No one else had a share, we found it ourselves" - Received messages of support from Turkey while being attacked - Had Friday prayer imams curse our operations into Syria - Has been shuttling back and forth to Ankara for weeks trying to mediate so America doesn't strike - Now that the conditions are ripe, wants to meet in Oman out of fear that Turkey will get credit.

Extremely dodgy nation, doesnt surprise me that all their allies have left them for dead.

Forget all that,think geopolitics.
Maybe then you will figure out why the Iranian regime cant fall.

I think Iran has a bad reputation due to their dishonorable conduct in international relations and this is hurting them immensely. Other actors themselves aren't angels, or USA/Israel certainly isn't more trustworthy, but the Iran is in a whole different league when it comes to backstabbing and callousness.

But it's just a minor-ish factor among others that changes the formula. And it probably won't lead to their downfall.

No,look at it from our position.
If Iran falls into the Western/Israeli camp we will be surrounded with possible hostile countries.
Israel will be bolder,the US will have bases there without Trump in charge.
Think about it.
It is best for us to keep the Mullahs ruling Iran.
We know the mullahs and how to deal with them.

This scenario is built on the premise that Iran falls in a very specific fashion.

But I agree with you in that a Western aligned Iran would be a complete menace.

Just a periodic reminder, Türkiye must have their own nukes.
