Trump, after tweeting Iran had made a "very big mistake," then suggested the drone downing wasn't intentional. Thursday’s drone downing occurred in what the Iranians argued was their airspace. Trump first commented on the drone downing via Twitter. “Iran made a very big mistake!” he wrote, before later telling reporters “You’ll soon find out” if the U.S. would strike Iran in retaliation. By Thursday afternoon, Trump eased off his inflammatory rhetoric and suggested the drone downing wasn’t intentional, as well as a possible mistaken authorization by Iran.
