The Iranians have established sfc- Ultd danger areas extending out to the FIR from the coast. I think they were fed up of the 12 mile sovereign border being honoured but assets operating in their FIR without permission.

its all a big game. No one was hurt and the Iranians have established a red line in the sand. Hell, trump probably sees it as a 180 million cash investment in Grumman.
