Escalation between US and Iran has begun:

• Iranian drone loitered near the USS Abraham Lincoln after being warned to stay clear yesterday

• Iranian gunboats surrounded the U.S. flagged tanker STENA IMPERATIVE, which is part of the U.S. Navy’s Tanker Security Program

• Maritime Risk Management Group Vanguard said the vessel remained in international waters and did not enter Iran’s territorial seas

• An Iranian Shahed 139 drone was shot down by a USAF F 35 fighter as it flew toward the USS Abraham Lincoln today
