Pentagon says IRAN Fighter Jets fired on US drone off coast of IRAN 11/8*

Valid point.
The UN agreement is 14 miles though.
thanks for the info
I knew there had to be a mileage limit, but one would think 14 miles is a little close
edit*: The contiguous zone is a band of water extending from the outer edge of the territorial sea to up to 24 nautical miles (44 km; 28 mi) from the baseline, within which a state can exert limited control for the purpose of preventing or punishing "infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea". This will typically be 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) wide, but could be more (if a state has chosen to claim a territorial sea of less than 12 nautical miles), or less, if it would otherwise overlap another state's contiguous zone. However, unlike the territorial sea there is no standard rule for resolving such conflicts, and the states in question must negotiate their own compromise. The United States invoked a contiguous zone out to 24 nmi on 24 September 1999.[2]

12 nautical miles from the sea line begins international waters and is the denied area, but out to 20nm is contested. Iran cant contest this though because it has been established long ago that the US flies from 16nm without incident.
Control your own mind or someone will control it for you
#1 how do you know that any of this even happened ?????
#2 Iranian plane shot a warning shot, and didn't take down the drone according
to other sources
FIRST ON CNN: Iranian jets fire on U.S. drone CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com Blogs
#3 How do you know US didn't go into Iranian airspace for a brief 1 minute drawing
the Iranians to scramble a plane, while US moves the drone back into international
space.
If at this point you are not aware of dirty tricks employed by US on 24/7 basis
then imagine what else you don't know.

LOL. Do you know how slow a Predator is? Anyway this incident isnt a big deal. Firing near an unarmed drone really isnt that major. No one is going to war over this.
we have to make the enemy into THE ENEMY...we have to build a case against them to gain public support
as to what bad guys they really are........do you really think Iran couldn't shoot down the drone?
Firing on it would be taken in the same light as shooting it down...
a hostile action...so they might as well shoot it down....IT's all going to be taken as a threat....

Not that I want to go to war but come on you know it's gonna happen. They are following the same play book sadam did. Talk shyt, pretend you can fuk with the international community. Sadly they may only be looking for peaceful nuclear usage but when you freak white people out you can only fall back on "facts" for so long. Fear is a mother and when you are intentionally fuking around what do you expect to happen.
Basically you don't walk up to D-Bo, put your finger right up to his face and say, "but i'm not touching you" and expect shyt to be cool. You now what this reminds me of actually....

replace seabear with The USA;
replace spongebob with Saddam, Patrick with Gaddafi;
replace squidward with Iran;
replace "things I shouldn't do to attract a seabear" with shyt Iran does.
Well watch how it ends...
