I wonder if those supporting Obama will treat these numbers like the economy - and say since Obama was president for 20 days in 2017, the numbers were trending downward - therefore this is an Obama victory.
Anyway - good news to keep our people out of harm's way.
The so-called harassment from Iran could actually be the opposite, sometimes. When incidents occur, both parties blame each other.
Do not take military propaganda/claims too seriously.
There is a big boy in the White House. Best not to tick him off. He might just respond, in kind, without thinking twice. This one shoots first, from the hip, and doesn't need to ask questions later.
"Even with the decreased incidents, we remain concerned with the increased number of Iranian UAVs operating in international airspace at night without navigation lights or an active transponder as would be expected according to international norms,"
There are also internal factors in Iran that can account or contribute to the change in behavior. The Jan 2018 loss of their biggest warship (accident), the 2017 terror attack on Parliament, and the 2016 election where reformists rose from 4% to 42% of the seats in Parliament.
Get out of the Middle East, quit harassing them, and defend our borders like the Constitution says. Then they wont harass us.
