Retired U.S. Army Gen. Wesley Clark said Tuesday that Iran's approach — flying a drone toward a U.S. aircraft carrier — is odd, but it seems like the country is trying to avoid "getting whipped again."

A U.S. Navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that was approaching the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday.

The former NATO supreme allied commander told Newsmax's "American Agenda" that the Iranians seem to be testing the waters.

"I don't think the Iranians are spoiling for a fight at this point," Clark said.

"I think they're struggling to figure out how to accommodate President [Donald] Trump's needs and demands without getting whipped again by the United States," he continued.

"It's not necessarily a sign that conflict is imminent. This is a carrier task force taking care of its own security," Clark said.

"It's 500 miles offshore; an Iranian drone is approaching. It's a reconnaissance drone, but it might be armed," he continued.

"It continued to approach. You don't do that to an American carrier task force."

He said the carrier task force commander made the right choice in ordering the drone to be destroyed.

"If you've got hostile intent or if your diplomats are making threatening comments, the task force had every right to take it out, and we did."

Clark said Iran may have overreached in its public statements about what it needs to have an agreement with the U.S. to avoid further conflict.

"I think they want to protect their ability to have nuclear energy. I think they still want some right to reprocess to a low order," he said.

"I think they want some trust and not intrusive inspections."

But Clark said Trump won't agree to those terms that favor Iran.

"I think that's not going to fly. So there have to be inspections," he said.

"They shouldn't be able to reprocess at all. And they honestly don't need nuclear energy at this point," Clark continued.

"So I hope the United States can move them away from that."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that diplomatic talks with Iran remain on schedule despite the incident.

She said the military acted appropriately to protect the naval task force.

Leavitt said the administration remains intent on pursuing diplomatic options to ease tensions between the U.S. and Iran and talks later in the week are still scheduled.

The White House on Tuesday issued a statement expressing support for NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie and her family as authorities continued searching for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen at her Arizona home on Saturday.

"The search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, is ongoing, and authorities are requesting assistance from the public. Anyone with information is urged to contact 911," the White House said in a statement.

"Our prayers are with the Guthrie family as we hope for Nancy's safe return home," the statement continued.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Jan. 31, when she was last seen at her home in the Tucson area, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff Chris Nanos has said investigators do not believe she left voluntarily, citing her limited mobility and the absence of medication she requires daily.

Authorities have described the case as active and concerning and have said the circumstances surrounding her disappearance suggest possible foul play. Nanos said her home has been treated as a crime scene as detectives work to determine what happened.

Law enforcement officials have asked neighbors and nearby residents to review security camera footage and report anything unusual from the time period surrounding her disappearance.

The FBI and other agencies are assisting local investigators, who have deployed search teams using drones, helicopters, and dogs.

No suspect has been publicly identified, and authorities have not announced any arrests.

Investigators continue to emphasize the urgency of the search because of Nancy Guthrie's age and medical needs.

Savannah Guthrie has been absent from NBC's "Today" show since her mother was reported missing. In a separate public message, she asked for prayers and urged anyone with information to contact law enforcement as the family focuses on her mother's safe return.

Anyone with information is urged to contact 911 immediately.

Saudi Arabia's state-backed media has adopted an unusually confrontational tone toward Israel in recent weeks, reflecting deepening regional tensions and fading prospects for diplomatic normalization between Riyadh and Jerusalem, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

State-linked outlets such as Al Riyadh have published editorials sharply critical of Israel's conduct in the Gaza war, accusing the Israeli government of flouting international law and bringing "ruin and destruction" wherever it operates — language far harsher than the kingdom's traditionally cautious public messaging.

Religious leaders have echoed the bellicose rhetoric.

In December, Sheikh Saleh bin Humaid, an imam at Islam's holiest site, invoked divine retribution against Jews for "seizing and occupying," comments that have alarmed observers in the West.

Saudi officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, have told foreign diplomats the shift reflects mounting domestic anger over the conflict in Gaza.

However, scholars and diplomats say the media campaign points to more complex geopolitics: a growing rivalry with the United Arab Emirates, a close partner of Israel under the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords.

Saudi columnists have portrayed Abu Dhabi's ties with Israel as a betrayal of Arab interests, at times dismissively labeling the UAE an "Israeli Trojan horse" in the region.

"The impostor from Abu Dhabi believes that the shortest path to avenging past grudges and healing the state of jealousy and feelings of inferiority toward the Kingdom is by throwing oneself into the arms of Zionism and accepting that the Emirates become the Israeli Trojan horse in the Arab world," Saudi columnist Ahmed bin Othman Al-Tuwaijri wrote last month in an editorial for the Saudi newspaper Al Jazirah.

The shift has complicated Riyadh's standing in Washington. The Anti-Defamation League has warned that disparaging rhetoric in Saudi media risks crossing into antisemitism and could undermine efforts to build a coalition of moderate Arab states.

Former U.S. officials have publicly questioned whether Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman remains committed to moderation and engagement with Israel.

Saudi diplomats have pushed back, insisting the kingdom rejects antisemitism and remains open to normalization with Israel provided future talks include a credible path to Palestinian statehood — a condition Israel's government has resisted amid domestic opposition.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in late January that Jerusalem was monitoring the Saudi media shift, warning that a supportive regional environment is essential for any normalization agreement.

Analysts say normalization now appears more distant, with Riyadh prioritizing competition with the UAE and other regional partnerships over forging ties with Israel.

Before the recent escalation, Saudi Arabia was widely seen as the potential linchpin of a broader Arab-Israeli diplomatic realignment.

Washington and Riyadh reportedly made significant progress toward a framework that would link Saudi diplomatic recognition of Israel to security guarantees for the Palestinians and U.S. backing — a plan that had drawn cautious optimism from American and Israeli officials.

However, the war in Gaza following Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 attack in 2023 has hardened public and elite attitudes across the Middle East.

Saudi commentators have increasingly rejected normalization absent meaningful progress on Palestinian statehood, a position echoed by key figures in the kingdom's foreign policy establishment.

The media's harsher tone comes amid broader shifts in Saudi foreign policy, including strengthening ties with traditional Israeli adversaries such as Pakistan and Turkey.

Some experts suggest the feud with the UAE and the recalibration of regional priorities could lead Riyadh to cool its previously active pursuit of normalization, at least for the near term.

For now, analysts say a thaw between Saudi Arabia and the UAE may be more achievable than a breakthrough with Israel, as long-standing geopolitical rivalries and domestic pressures reshape Gulf diplomacy.
