It looks like American neo-con plans have failed just like they did in Venezuela.
It seems to me that the Iranians were perhaps meant to shoot down a spy plane with a crew of 35 but that didn't happen as planned.

Iran’s
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has tweeted a map with detailed
coordinates that shows a US spy drone shot down two days ago was
within the Islamic Republic’s territorial waters.
"For
more visual detail on the path, location, and point of impact of the
US military drone Iran shot down on Thursday, and of the waters over
which it was flying, see these maps and coordinates," Mohammad
Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter account on Saturday.
At 00:14 US drone took off from UAE in stealth mode & violated Iranian airspace. It was targeted at 04:05 at the coordinates (25°59'43"N 57°02'25"E) near Kouh-e Mobarak.
We've retrieved sections of the US military drone in OUR territorial waters where it was shot down.

There can be no doubt about where the vessel was when it was brought down.

The
map also showed two yellow squares on the flight path of the doomed
drone which indicated Iranian radio warnings sent to the aircraft.

LEGEND: blue=drone; yellow line=Iranian FIR; red line=Iranian territorial waters; ; green line=baseline internal waters; yellow dots=Iran radio warnings sent; red dot=point of impact.
"One last visual: Red dot is the impact point of the trespassing drone against the border of Iran; and the border of the United States," Zarif stressed.

The
Islamic Revolution Guards Corpse (IRGC) shot down a US
surveillance drone Thursday
in the Strait of Hormuz after it did not heed four warning signals,
even as the force spared a second spy plane carrying 35 passengers
which accompanied the downed aircraft.
A senior IRGC commander says Iran refrained from shooting down a US plane with 35 people on board in the Persian Gulf.
Hours
after the incident, the US military confirmed that one of its drones
had been shot, claiming that the incident took place in international
airspace.
Navy
Captain Bill Urban, a spokesman for the US military's Central
Command, also alleged that it was "an unprovoked attack.”
On
Thursday, Zarif said the country would take the case of US
drone encroaching on its territory to the United Nations to prove
Washington was lying about the aircraft having been shot down over
international waters.

US
President Donald Trump initially issued a series of cataclysmic
threats, insisting that the RQ-4 Global Hawk was flying over
international waters when it was taken down by an Iranian missile.
However,
the GPS coordinates released by Iran put the drone eight miles off
the country’s coast, inside the 12 nautical miles from the shore,
which is Iran's territorial waters.
