Iran claims capture of U.S. drone; CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr reports

Breaking news comes this morning from the Middle East. Iran claims it has captured a U.S. drone. State TV in Tehran is showing two Revolutionary Guard commanders examining what appears to be a scan eagle drone. But a U.S. defense official told CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr moments ago that all unmanned air vehicles operating in the region are accounted for.

Starr comes to “Early Start” with more on the story. She’s also following the latest on escalating tensions in Syria. President Obama has issued a warning to the Syrian government if it uses chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
