U.S. high-altitude drone was shot down Thursday by an Iranian surface-to-air missile over the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions in the region after last week’s attacks on two oil tankers, a source told Fox News.

The U.S. Navy’s MQ-4C drone,  which has the same wingspan as a Boeing 737, was over international airspace at the time and about 17 miles from Iran, the source said.

Capt. Bill Urban, a U.S. Central Command spokesman, declined to comment on the reported attack when reached by the AP, but he said no drone was over Iranian territory.

IRNA news agency, the country’s state-run news arm, identified the drone as an RQ-4 Global Hawk. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard confirmed the shooting and said it occurred when the drone entered into its airspace in southern Iran’s Hormozgan province.

The U.S. said Iran fired a missile at another drone last week that responded to the attack on two oil tankers near the Gulf.

Another senior U.S. official told Fox News last week that an MQ9 Reaper drone was fired on by the Iranians shortly after it arrived at the scene where the MV Altair tanker sent out a distress signal. . . .

Father God, grant wisdom to President Trump and our defense administration so that they act in accordance with Your will. Surround our military forces with a hedge of protection, in the name that is above every other name, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Lord protect our men and women in our armed forces in the Middle East and give all those in leadership positions great wisdom in how we will respond. Bless all on alert throughout the world your peace and direction. Be with and guide them Holy Spirit. Do not let the enemy have his way with his plans and schemes for war and death.

The Iranian Ayatollah is a 12er, and believes he needs to start a blood bath to bring in the rule of a Caliphate across the world, so he is the one that needs to be removed, because many Iranians have become Christian & don’t want conflict. Pray for a Christian gov. in Iran.
