Pentagon Denies Rep. Van Drew's Claim of Iranian 'Mothership' Launching SUV-Sized Drones Over New Jersey
Dec 11, 2024, 07:53 PM
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) claimed that an 'Iranian drone mothership' could be stationed off the coast of New Jersey, launching SUV-sized drones over the state, possibly targeting former President Donald Trump's property in New Jersey. He cited undisclosed high-level sources for his claim and called for the drones to be 'shot down.' The drones have been spotted over New Jersey since mid-November. The Pentagon has refuted this assertion, with Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh stating, 'There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there's no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States.' The Department of Defense confirmed that the drones are not U.S. military assets and do not pose a threat to military installations. The origin of the mysterious drone sightings remains unknown, prompting concerns and speculation.
