The U.S. military shot down an Iranian drone on Tuesday that approached the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, citing aggressive behavior. The Shahed-139 drone, whose intent was unclear, was intercepted by an F-35C fighter jet from the carrier in self-defense, according to Navy Captain Tim Hawkins. No U.S. personnel or equipment were harmed.

The incident coincides with ongoing efforts to restart nuclear talks between Iran and the United States. President Donald Trump warned that “bad things” could happen if a deal is not reached as U.S. warships move toward Iran. The shootdown also pushed oil futures up more than $1 per barrel.

Separately, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps harassed the U.S.-flagged merchant vessel Stena Imperative in the Strait of Hormuz. Two IRGC boats and a Mohajer drone reportedly approached at high speeds, threatening to board and seize the tanker. The vessel, escorted by the U.S. Navy ship McFaul, sped away safely, and the situation was resolved without incident.

The Abraham Lincoln strike group represents a visible U.S. military presence in the Middle East following Iran’s deadly crackdown on anti-government demonstrations, the worst unrest in the country since 1979. Tehran’s top security official, Ali Larijani, said arrangements for nuclear negotiations are underway, while Trump has pressed Iran for concessions.
