The claim that unidentified drones were spotted over a military facility in Washington, referred to as the heart of the United States, where two ministers were present, has raised security concerns as the war with Iran continues.
It was claimed that unidentified drones were detected over a military facility where two critical figures of the U.S., Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, were present. The allegations have brought security measures back to the forefront in the capital, Washington.
THE AMERICAN MILITARY ON ALERT
According to a report by the Washington Post, citing three U.S. officials who wished to remain anonymous, the American military has begun to monitor potential threats more closely following attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran.
MYSTERIOUS DRONES AT THE MILITARY BASE
In this context, it was claimed that multiple drones were seen in a single night over the Fort McNair military base in Washington, where Rubio and Hegseth are staying, within the last 10 days. Officials could not determine where the drones came from.
HIGH-LEVEL MEASURES
The report stated that security measures have been increased following the developments and that a meeting regarding the issue was held at the White House. It was expressed that officials were considering moving the two ministers to a different location, but this step has not yet been taken.
FIRST STATEMENT RECEIVED
U.S. Department of Defense Spokesman Sean Parnell, in a statement regarding the allegations, said, "We cannot comment on the Secretary's movements for security reasons, and reporting on such movements is extremely irresponsible." The Department of State has not yet made an official statement on the matter.
