US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he called off a planned retaliatory strike against Iran, calling the planned attack disproportionate after Tehran earlier shot down an unmanned American surveillance drone.

The New York Times first reported the abrupt pullback from the Americans that was expected to be launched on Thursday night.

The response he writes from a General was 150 – and ten minutes before the strike he stopped it, citing its disproportionality. In a letter to the UN Secretary-General, Iran’s Ambassador Majid Takht Ravanchi said his country does not seek war but will take appropriate necessary measures against any hostile act violating its territory.

The United States insists the drone was in international airspace near the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman – a critical oil-shipping lane that was the recent scene of disputed attacks on two oil tankers.The UN Chief meanwhile has appealed for calm and called for the facts to be established through Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

You mean a surveillance drone sent into a sovereign country's airspace was shot down but you think that YOU'VE been violated? Don't you steal enough from: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and all the other nations you've destroyed?

Really, trying to kill people for a drone. Why cannot just replace it.
