If the US is capable of tapping into Israeli drones, Iranian drones are probably possible too. If Iranian drones are really a threat, they can quickly be turned into a non-threat one way or another.

They can (and did), they could also blown the drone out of the sky. Iran is making a power play in the region one of the outcomes of the deal is that the US have lost the "respect" of most of it's allies in the region (and I'm not talking about Israel but about SA and the gulf states). This incident just like the incident a week ago with the captured US sailors is pretty much an embarrassment to the US in a region where your image and reputation mean allot. This isn't something aimed against the US to show that Iran can deal with them, this is aimed at all the countries in the region showing that Iran can pull down their (US) pants so everyone could have a laugh without a reprisal. The US has lost it's only card it had against Iran which was the sanctions, it can no longer enforce any sanctions regardless of what they are for Iran has stated that sanctions against them even if they are due to their support of terrorism or due to their long range ballistic missile program will constitute a violation of the nuclear deal. Europe has already swarmed the Iranian market it was a market they desperately needed especially with sanctions over Russia and with China importing less and less goods from the EU. Iranian economy is ripe for rapid growth they had a huge automotive industry in the past, they have a big (even if severely outdated) energy section and unlike most countries in the region Iran actually has a good primary and higher education systems which means that you actually have a fairly large pool of educated professionals to draw from even if Iranian schools are quite behind the west they are still better than any other country in the region except for Israel. Iran is Turkey but with considerable energy reserves and an educated population if it wasn't being ruled by an authoritarian religious regime it could've been one of the biggest economies in the world easily. Even with their current handicap they have the potential to rival the likes of Canada and the big European economies especially if they finally will be ready for another revolution that will dismantle the mullahs and the IRGC.

I imagine one of these would make short work of any threatening drone approaching a ship or carrier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS
