US downs Iran drone. Khatami drops out of race.
US jet fighters have shot down an unmanned aircraft in Iraqi airspace. This is one of the first of reported military actions during the relative silence of allegations that Iran has been intervening in Iraqi affairs.
Former President Seyed Mohammad Khatami drops out of race. There are reports he will back former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi. Mr. Mousavi was prime minister of Iran during the 1980′s, and was reportedly a close confidante to Ayatollah Khomeini.
Iran has drones?
Mousavi is Iran’s best realistic candidate right now to change the course for the better.
I’m not sure how this strengthens Ahmadinejad but BBC seems to think so…
