The US military wanted to test the” Iranian reaction, flying along the border.
Iran was ready to shoot down two American reconnaissance aircraft P-8 Poseidon and EP-3 Eries approached granskogen. Reported by FoxNews, citing a source in the U.S. government.
On 10 September, American intelligence officers flew in the sky over the Strait of Hormuz in 24 km from the official border with Iran. Only two aircraft were 33 people.
The aircraft did not violate the state border and the Iranian military warned the Americans by radio that if they continue to move along the border risk being shot down.
It is noted that the U.S. military ignored the warning and continued to fly in international airspace, although very close to Iranian territory.
“We wanted to test the Iranian response. It’s one thing to tell someone to get off your lawn, but we weren’t on their lawn. Every time you threaten to kill someone, it is not considered professional behavior,” – said the representative of the Pentagon.
