This is BS. Not plane should get within 1,000 yards of a carrier.

Washington is happy to use this as a “teaching moment” to show that our sailors properly do not see the Iranians as a possible enemy.

I simply cannot believe this - if it was russian, it would never get with miles of any carrier group.
At that range it could have hit the carrier.

Trial run. Now that they see we will do nothing, the next will be loaded with explosives and crashed into the ship Kamikaze style.

I suspect there are plenty of facts about this incident that we’re not being told.

Remember the Vincennes?

They mistook an Airbus with 290 people aboard for an attacking fighter.
