Allegedly.
What is the US up to with regard to Iran?

No it's a fact. We have the GPS data that shows the precise location of the drone when it was shot down. It shows the drone was clearly not in Iranian airspace.
Even if we didn't have that GPS data, the Iranian regime is inherently dishonest and nothing they say can be believed. So any evidence they produce to back their claim should immediately be assumed to be falsified.

It's just not a thing here, really. We're too far removed and there are no adversaries with trans-pacific or trans-polar drones to show up on our doorstep yet. I wouldn't be surprised if there were cartel drones or errant Canadian toys or whatever but we do not have defense systems to spot and shoot them down as they're too small. A transcontinental drone would be another story as that would be plane sized but no one else has that reach.
The US is researching anti-drone systems (I got to see some demo'd, cool stuff) but they are not operational and are intended for deployment at forward bases overseas, not domestically.
Who's the 'we' in the 'we have GPS data'? The US government? Because they never lie?
Also, people I work with spoof GPS data (broadcast fake data which is recorded by receivers) on a daily basis. It is in this instance literal rocket science but not figurative rocket science. There are catalogues of parts for this stuff which means the data can be trivially forged.

The GPS data provided by inherently honest regime!

If it was someone like Matiss or McMasters I would have no problem with the honesty and integrity of any such claims But not from Bolton, Trump or Sanders
Yes Iran put out some Hilarous fake Photoshoped "news" but god dam is it hard to trust in the Trump administration endless gaslighting

Apparently Trump ordered a strike on Iran recently on the advice of Pompeo and Bolton but his instincts pulled him back at the last minute.

it's just Donald Trump is kind of the guy who prefers to show his great valor on those who can't fight back . As it didn't happen but he can't let his voterbase to discover , say , just say , ı can't talk about kitties right now as CIA might come and poison them . GPS jamming can set off people with cellphones miss streets these days . Do not read much into the stealthiness of the Global Hawk , it had just turned off its transponders and we will shortly be reminded that long straight wings are not stealthy , as this is exactly why Al Crusading had full footage of the next generation robot fighter thing on the deck of the carriers .
and next time this happens there will be disciplanary action , for which ı blame the Stuntwoman . This was gray allright but the targets are ships that float .
and ı hate you all CFC people , because you would say "What?" and laugh and ı would silly dizzy like rant of the CIWS for torpedo work for submarines can reach 15 kilometers up .

To be fair public mood was different at W time. W could go ahead with wars and win elections .9/11 was milked yugely by that administration.
It is due to wars started by W that US population became war weary. Trump is good at reading that mood , and will try not to start wars.
If trump was in W time , he might have started more wars than W. Or if W was president in these times, he might have been a peace monger . Different times, different environments.

I find it difficult to take seriously a country that shot down a civilian plane full
of innocent pilgrims having its military complain of losing an unmanned drone.

The Evil Good Empire Republic desires kindly and thoughtfully wishes for everyone WAR peace. Failing Succeeding with a sovereign socialist state corrupt authoritarian Venezuela, the great capitalist oligarchy democratically elected leaders, which represent only their own interest the American people, are going after their old adversary they've raped a few times another threat to the limitless growth of their fortune the global peace and prosperity, which is known as an Islamic republic a terrorist state of Iraq Persia Iran.
Considering that Iran (and others) have territorial claims in the Gulf that US doesn't recognise I suspect that both sides were trying to prove a point, the US by sending their drone into an area that Iran claims, and Iran by shooting it down in an area it claims but it knows the US doesn't recognise its claim to.

oh , imagine the fun we will have when one of these days New Turkey it's time to give up the ghost and start living in their Swiss chateus and whatever they have in Switzerland as luxurious homes .
just reading a biography of Lawrence . Who's as gay as Alexander , that Macedonian . And well , similarly well educated and what not . Who would have believed London was financing both the Hashemites and Sauds in their war against each as proxies of Foreign Office and Egypt against the Colonial Office and India ? The point being they must have learned something and let this brilliant guy develop without any trouble .

In the good old days, when I was young, internet and modern drones
uninvented, there were radio controlled model aircraft and shotguns.
Occasionally a model aircraft enthusiast club would have
a, dubiously legal/illegal, contest with a grouse shooting club.
The model aircraft would be sent up, sometimes, with ink or
paint loads, and the shooters would try to shoot them down.
What happened was that if the model aeroplanes were too high,
they were out of range of the pellets, but couldn't bomb the shooters.
If they came down too low, they were generally shot down.
Perhaps shooting down drones should be an Olympic sport.
