Iran Behind Mysterious New Jersey Drones? U.S' Pentagon Breaks Silence On Terrifying Incident

The Pentagon has addressed growing speculation surrounding mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey, dismissing claims that the drones are being launched by an "Iranian mothership" off the U.S. East Coast. The allegations, initially raised by Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew, stirred fears of Iranian involvement in the unexplained drone activity. The sightings have been reported across more than a dozen New Jersey counties, with drones observed near key military and civilian sites, including the Picatinny Arsenal and even President Trump's Bedminster golf course. The Pentagon swiftly denied any connection to Iranian forces, with Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh asserting that there is no Iranian vessel off the U.S. coast.
