Good move, killing these soldiers would have left trump with no choice but to initiate a conflict fo save face. Shooting the UAV was a clear enough message no need to slaughter their soldiers unnecessarily.

It was a P-8 Poseidon commonly used in Maritime patrol (intelligence gathering and reconnoissance as well I guess). The Aircraft according to Iran was close to the now destroyed RQ-4A Global Hawk during the incident.

Could it be for intelligence gathering and reconnoissance as well?
Yes. That's why it's there.
