Iran's Revolutionary Guard releases video images it claims proves that a U.S. warship did not destroy an Iranian drone. President Trump said the USS Boxer took defensive action after the drone closed to within 1,000 yards of the warship.
In this May 1, 2019, photo provided by the U.S. Navy, the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer transits the San Diego Bay in San Diego, Calif. President Donald Trump says the USS Boxer destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions between the two countries. Trump says it's the latest "hostile" action by Iran.
“We have not lost any drone in the Strait of Hormuz nor anywhere else,” tweeted Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Neither Trump nor the Pentagon spelled out how the Boxer destroyed the drone. CNN reported that the ship used electronic jamming to bring it down rather than hitting it with a missile.
The IRG on its website Friday said the drone recorded three hours of video of the USS Boxer and five other vessels Thursday beginning when the ships first entered the Strait of Hormuz. There was no immediate explanation as to how the video proved that no Iranian drone was destroyed. China urged Washington to consider the offer, calling it “a positive signal that Iran is willing to seek a compromise solution.”
