    I wonder how the US government would react if Iran flew a “surveillance drone” in or near US airspace

        That depends. If by "near" you mean "in international airspace" then they'd follow established procedures, which don't include shooting it down in international airspace.

        Imagine surrounding a third world theocracy with military bases and flying drones in their airspace and acting as if Iran is in the wrong when they exercise their sovereignty.

        I'm constantly reminded of the "Cuban Missile Crisis" when Russia responded to U.S. missiles in Europe by threatening to put missiles in OUR backyard.

        Foreign actors do conduct close air space surveillance constantly. China does. Russia does. We do it to them too. It's an decades old, ongoing international thing. Iran is just pouting those drones caught video of it taking their unexploded mine off a Japanese Oil Tanker.

        They would probably react exactly the same as when the Soviets used to park ballistic missiles subs off the east coast. Or the same way when a Russian or Chinese plane "accidentally" gets to close to our airspace.

        In, it gets shot down. In international airspace, it doesn’t.
