Global Tensions Flare: Drone Downed, Aid Pledged, Tragedies Strike

US Downs Iranian Drone as Tensions Escalate Ahead of Talks

In the Arabian Sea, a U.S. fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that the U.S. military described as flying "aggressively" towards the USS Abraham Lincoln on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, according to Sky News. The incident occurred as Washington prepares for talks with Tehran later this week.

The U.S. military described the drone's approach as "aggressive," prompting the response from the USS Abraham Lincoln, Sky News reported.
