Nothing Iran does ever results in “escalating tensions in the region.”

USS Boxer, an Amphibious Assault Ship - not to be trifled with.
It's a wonder they got within 1K yards.

One thousand yards is well within range of almost any weapon a drone could carry. Once a missile is fired, it is a much harder target than a slower moving drone. I’d say the Iranians are testing, probing to see what they can get away with. I hope we have nearby fighter aircraft for air cover should s Navy ship suddenly be swarmed.
As a side note, Iran has reportedly made “a substantial” offer regarding their nuclear program in an effort to reduce sanctions. Also, Oilprice.com reports no upward movement in oil prices, indicating the marketplace does not expect a war or a disruption.

iran is a m*slim theocracy. *slam is the law of the land. That means that civilization, reason and tolerance are not allowed in iran. Don’t expect them to do anything sensible.

If they would refer to them as UAV’s instead of drones, people might be better able to form a mental image of the actual size and capabilities of these things.
These aren’t the little 4- or 6-rotor thingies that people strap GoPro cameras on for personal use. They are (or at least can be) lethal weapons.

1000 yards? Splash anything that gets that close.

Trump also called “on other nations to protect their ships as they go through the straight and work with us in the future.”There's a thought.

The MSM just can’t help inserting their opinions into every last news story. An Iran drone gets shot down. That’s news. “Escalating tensions”, that’s just more anti-Trump opinion.

Good.
Were they supposed to just sit there and let the drone harass them or worse?

One advantage of drone warfare is that, although you still have a huge waste of money and resources, no one gets hurt.
