Washington – The Pentagon says an Iranian military plane fired upon, but did not hit, an unarmed U.S. drone aircraft a week ago in what a spokesman said was international airspace over the Persian Gulf.

Pentagon press secretary George Little disclosed the incident was disclosed Thursday.
Little said the drone aircraft was performing “routine surveillance” and was about 16 miles off the Iranian coast when an Iranian SU-25 warplane intercepted it and opened fire. He said it was the first time an unmanned U.S. aircraft was shot at in international airspace over the Gulf.
Little said the U.S. informed the Iranians that it would continue to conduct such surveillance flights in international airspace.
Was this disclosed to the public prior to today? If not, why not? Is this more of the same from the Obamanation administration: making believe the war on terror and radical islam is over?
A week ago this happened? This was a secret before Obama’s 2013 election, had it been public before, who would have been your President today? this is not the first and wont be the last, still more hidden secrets to come.
