An unmanned US military drone was shot down off the coast of Yemen by Houthi forces, a defense official told CNN.
The official said the MQ-9 Reaper drone was operating in international airspace and over international waters when it was shot down. US Central Command is investigating the incident, the official said.
The shootdown, which the Iran-backed Houthi militants took responsibility for earlier on Wednesday, comes several weeks after a US Navy warship, the USS Carney, intercepted multiple missiles and drones fired by the Houthis as they were heading north along the Red Sea. The ship shot down four cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of nine hours, CNN previously reported, and their trajectory left little doubt that the projectiles were headed for Israel.
They better cut that shit out before we try and get “proportional” with them again.

More than half of Iran is too young to remember Operation Praying Mantis, or wasn’t even born yet. They may underestimate America’s willingness to respond forcefully to acts of aggression against us.
Quit shitting on the young Irani population. Exactly THOSE people hate their religious dictatorship. You should rather support them.
I’m not shitting on anyone, I’m simply stating facts. It is a possible explanation for the idiotic moves the Iranian military has been making as of late: Lack of experience.
You are mixing up correlation with causation.

I’ve made no definitive statements, only conjecture. I’m really not sure what argument you’re trying to make.
