Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said that the country would take the complaint to the UN that the US "encroaches on our territory" while US denies the allegations, and says that the drone was in international waters.
As the game of chicken is on between the two countries, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint. Russia's President Vladimir Putin has warned that war between the US and Iran would be a "catastrophe with unpredictable consequences".
Trump said that Iran had made a mistake.
"I think probably Iran made a mistake - I would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down," he said. "It could have been somebody who was loose and stupid," he added.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
