I did some reading on this.
I am 100% certain that Iran is correct about the drone violating their airspace so they shot it down. And I am 100% certain the US is correct when they claim the drone was shot down in international airspace.
These two positions are not mutually exclusive and we all know the US was spying on Iran, violating their airspace.
Also, Iran's head of the Revolutionary Guard Corps is named Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami.
That's right. Maj. Gen. Salami. Amazing. ahahaha
I wish my surname was something awesome like that.
Meting some egos would resolve this situation.

Fair enough then.Saudis have the most to gain with a war with Iran and the US backing the Saudis with weapons and intel.

Can you offer something besdies "But Trump"I didnt even suggest this war was going to be started by Trump. He has shown nothing to suggest he wants to get US in another war.
As I suspected tensions would rise without US being involved.
Britain has now seized an Iranian tanker.

Just a few days ago Trump threatened Iran again, further increasing tensions, but sure, the US is not involved or something.
Trump threatens to 'substantially' increase sanctions on Iran
So now we're pretending that threats and accusations from the POTUS carry no weight? Sure, if that's how you need to cope.
Since you won't read the story:
WASHINGTON/VIENNA (Reuters) - President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that U.S. sanctions on Iran would be increased “substantially” soon, as the U.N. nuclear watchdog held an emergency meeting at Washington’s request to weigh Tehran’s breach of a nuclear deal.
Trump also accused Iran of secretly enriching uranium for a long time but offered no evidence, and Iran said after the 35-nation meeting in Vienna that it had “nothing to hide”. U.N. inspectors have uncovered no covert enrichment by Iran since long before its 2015 nuclear agreement deal with world powers. -snip

? Y-yes it does
Indeed, it does show exactly that.
Trumpers: "One thing I love about Trump, he's not getting us into any conflicts or wars in the Middle East." (which is a fair enough thing)
*Trump attacks Iranian officials, entrenching the US further in ME conflicts and something that could potentially lead to a war with Iran*
Also Trumpers: "Hell yeah, smoke dem Irans! Murca!'"
