The American military presence in the region has increased due to air threats and tensions with Iran. CENTCOM commander Gen. Brad Cooper stated that Iran's threats in international waters will not be tolerated. An American F-35C fighter downed an Iranian drone approaching the USS Abraham Lincoln. Tensions escalated in the Strait of Hormuz, where the IRGC Navy threatened an American oil tanker, but the USS McFall successfully escorted it to safety. Further talks between Iran and the US are planned in Turkey. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
