The U.S. military says it’s shot down an Iranian drone in the Arabian Sea that was approaching a U.S. aircraft carrier with what officials described as an unclear intent. Iranian forces on Tuesday are said to have harassed a U.S.-flagged merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. The two developments come as Iran’s president called for fair and equitable negotiations with the U.S. in talks scheduled for later this week. That marks a shift in tone following weeks of heightened tensions between the two nations over Tehran’s bloody crackdown of protests that left thousands dead.
