Iran downs unidentified drone near Gulf coast: reports 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseTEHRAN, Iran – The Iranian army shot down an unidentified drone near the port of Bandar-e Mahshahr on the Gulf Coast on Friday, Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency reported. Trump in June authorized a military strike after Iran shot down a US drone, only to call off the retaliation at the last moment. Washington insists the aircraft was in international airspace, but Iran says it was over its territorial waters. Washington has responded with a military build-up in the Gulf and on Thursday launched an operation with its allies to protect navigation in Gulf waters.
