Iran Launched SAM Missile At US MQ-9 Reaper Drone Ahead Of tanker Attacks, Official Tells CNN

Iran launched missile at US drone ahead of tanker attacks, official tells CNN

Before attacking two tankers near the coast of Iran on Thursday, Iranians launched a surface-to-air missile at a U.S. drone flying in the Gulf of Oman. A U.S. MQ-9 drone spotted Iranian boats nearing the tankers before the attacks occurred, and the Iranians shot a missile at the drone, but missed, a U.S. official told CNN in an exclusive on Friday. 


The official also said a U.S. Reaper drone flying over the Red Sea was struck and shot down by what is presumably an Iranian missile, just days earlier.  Source
