The White House says talks between special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian officials are still planned after a Navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that was approaching a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. U.S. Central Command said Tuesday the drone “aggressively approached” the aircraft carrier and kept flying toward it “despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces.” The U.S. military says the shootdown occurred within hours of another incident in which Iranian forces harassed a U.S.-flagged merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s president says he's instructed his foreign minister to pursue fair negotiations with the U.S. The White House says President Donald Trump wants to ”pursue diplomacy first."
