Trump says U.S. warship shot down Iranian drone

President Trump said a U.S. warship destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tension between the two countries.

Trump said the amphibious assault ship Boxer took defensive action after the drone closed to within 1,000 yards of the vessel and ignored multiple calls to stand down.
