S. Military insists the incident happened over International Airspace<\/a> in the strait of hormuz at least 4 kilometers from iranian territory irans foreign minister on the other hand says the drone took off from the u. A. E. And violated iranian airspace and it was shot down a. Province and southern iraq. Irans ambassador to the u. N. Has called for the International Community<\/a> to demand the u. S. And what he calls its unlawful and destabilizing measures in the gulf our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the United Nations<\/a> by the finding it on the iranians are determined to persuade the International Community<\/a> that theyre the ones telling the truth in addition to the broadcast of this video which the Iranian Press<\/a> t. V. Says was filmed by the Islamic Republic<\/a>s revolutionary guards the foreign minister mohammed job and zarif has been busy on twitter he said we retrieve sections of the u. S. Military drone in our territorial waters where it was shot down he posted this hand drawn map which he says shows the exact flight path as well as marking iranian territorial waters he says it proves iran acted in selfdefense its a point that irans ambassador to the u. N. Magid tucker of and she makes in a letter to secretary general antonio good terrorists and to the current president of the Un Security Council<\/a> in the letter he says the drone was in full stealth mode as it turned off its identification equipment and engaged in a clear spying operation despite repeated radio warnings it entered into the iranian airspace where the air Defense System<\/a> of the Islamic Republic<\/a> of iran acting under article 51. 00 of the United Nations<\/a> charter targeted the intruding aircraft at 4 o 5 hours in the letter iran says the drone was in the air for almost 4 hours it says it doesnt want a war but it reserves the right take any necessary measures against hostile acts it wants the International Community<\/a> to respond so far though no meeting of the u. N. Security council has been scheduled james out 0 of the United Nations<\/a>. Here we spent to advise here is the International Crisis<\/a> groups iran project director and he says tension between the u. S. And iran has reached a breaking point this is in many ways an 1014 moment in the region in the sense that a single incident could result in a region wide conflagration that would not just involve do the iranians and the americans but then tire region would be put on fire and you know i think what bolton has been doing deliberately and systematically over the past few months is that he has created a climate a certain situation in which there are string of attacks that would create a pattern of behavior that would eventually result in an american fatalities and at that point the president would be boxed in a situation that this might his reluctance he would feel that he has no choice other than responding militarily and this would result in a cattle in a catastrophic clash you know in the region.
