Iran: US unmanned aircraft entered its airspace unlawfully – Reuters
With the chatter around Iran shooting down the US drone is still taking the rounds, Reuters came out with the news report that the OPEC members’ ambassador to the United Nations (UN) called on late-Thursday for the international community to demand the United States end its “unlawful and destabilizing measures” in the Gulf.
Key Notes:
- In a letter to the UN, Iran mentioned that it spotted the US unmanned aircraft entered into Iranian airspace despite repeated radio warnings in 'a blatant violation of international law'.
- The letter also says that Iran does not seek war, but reserves the right to take all appropriate measures to secure its territory.
