Iran Takes Down Another U.S. Drone

U.S. drone from December 2011 with Iranian leadership

Just a few weeks ago Iranian jet fighters shot at a U.S. drone surveilling Iran where the U.S. claims they were in international airspace, but the exact location is classified and questions posed to the White House about whether it was an "act of war" were quickly dismissed. As a result of the actions of the United States, Iran deployed a large-scale field operation and tested hawk missiles for more accurate future use.

Today, Iran announced another U.S. drone taken down, but the United States government has assured the public that it has all of its drones accounted for and has thus denied these claims. A year ago, Iran claimed that it shot down a U.S. drone of which the U.S. government countered that their pilot lost control of the aircraft.

Both China and Russian governments have publicly supported Iran's development of nuclear energy and have made it clear to the United States that they will ally with Iran if the United States sides with Israel and if Israel attacks Iran. China went so far as to say that they will enter WWIII against the United States if they and Israel go head-to-head militarily. We can expect both Russia and China to take this position being that they back Iran's nuclear program and for the fact that the United States mortgage industry gravely tarnished their image with China as its largest mortgage security investor since the crisis of 2008.
