Iranian Drone Spies on US Navy Transiting Strait of Hormuz
An Iranian drone tracked US Navy ships in the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) transiting the Strait of Hormuz on the 26th, releasing footage of the ships recently. The Strait of Hormuz is a short stretch of water between the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, and only 35 miles wide. On one side (North) is Iran, the other, UAE/Oman.
It was almost undoubtedly known to the US CSG that Iran was watching, and they allowed it to happen.

The Iranians are getting all the same sensitive, highly detailed classified information you can get on wiki, but through the fidelity and resolution your drunk uncle has when he loses his glasses.

They showed this on national television in Iran. They intentionally gave the footage to press to show they can do shit and stuff
Great content as always. For those wondering why the CSG took no action against the drone; it was outside of threat range (look at zoom levels), and also the drone (as well as Iran) is inconsequential. The CSG wouldn't care if it was a fighter aircraft dangling a dozen ship killers. Despite the opinions of the USA hating, Military hating main stream media, Iran is nothing more than a minor annoyance to us militarily. Even if their equipment wasn't outdated by several decades, they'd still be grossly incompetent compared to the U.S. Military. CNN is more of a threat to our military than Iran.

The honest truth is none of us know for sure, even with best technology and best operators, mistakes/complacency happen. That said, commenters have listed many reasons why the U.S. would let the drone fly - one reason I haven't seen but I believe is legit is the risk/benefit ratio is off. If they knew the drone was unarmed, there is very little it can do considering any intel it is gathering is likely already open source or known to Iran. On the contrary, shooting it down could mean unnecessary escalation (although I think the likelihood of it spiraling out of control is minimal, if anything letting it fly will bolden Iran)
I'm sure America know very well that the Drone is watching them just like they are watching it that area is such a narrow Crossing more than likely it's far away on either side of the coast Overland in the airspace of whatever country they're over plus it's just observing there's really nothing they can do unless it becomes a hazard or dangerous intent
Never underestimate the enemy.
wow so scary
For those asking about the Hebrew text, this was just a version of the video that didn’t have all the Arabic news clip scrolling text on it. Take the tinfoil hat off, it was broadcast across Iranian and Arab media.
Too bad the Arleigh Burkes in this CSG are not fitted with the new High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance system (HELIOS), a 60KW directed energy laser weapon integrated with the Aegis combat system intended specifically for use against small boats and drones. So far only the USS Preble (DDG-88) has been equipped with HELIOS.
