Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the U.S. safety concerns were unfounded. The Iranian Sadegh drone flew without any warning lights Sunday night while shadowing the USS Nimitz, said Lt. Ian McConnaughey, a spokesman for the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. The drone did not respond to repeated radio calls and came within 1,000 feet (300 meters) of U.S. fighters, he said.
