TEHRAN, Iran – A semiofficial Iranian news agency says the country's naval forces have warned off a U.S. surveillance aircraft trying to get a closer look at military maneuvers in the Persian Gulf. The Fars news agency quotes army chief Gen. Ataollah Salehi as saying the aircraft was trying to observe the naval war games Monday but left the area after a warning from Iranian forces. The report gave no details.

In a similar encounter, an Iranian surveillance jet recently flew over a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier in the Gulf. Without confirming Monday's incident, a U.S. Navy spokesman says it is not uncommon for American military forces to have radio contact and other routine exchanges with other nations in the Gulf, including Iran.

Mr, G.
I think it is tit for tat game.

U.S doesn't need to send an aircraft for closer look on war games, surveillance (Spy) satellites can do job very well.

Also E-3 (AWACS) can fly over Qatar and register every thing needed.
