A: Hey, did you hear anything about the US and Iran? It’s kinda crazy!

A: Apparently, the US Navy shot down an Iranian drone!
B: Wow, really? Near a US aircraft carrier?
A: Yep! An F-35 fighter jet took it out. They said it was to protect the ship and the people on board. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and nothing was damaged.
B: That’s good to hear. Is this about the nuclear program stuff?
