IRGC Claims High-Tech US Unmanned Submarine Captured at Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they captured a modern unmanned US submarine at the Strait of Hormuz in a dawn operation, calling it one of the US's most advanced assets; the US has not commented. Tehran says it will release photos and footage, and Iranian reports describe the vehicle as capable of subsurface reconnaissance, seabed mapping, mine detection and inspecting cables. With Hormuz under blockade amid the West Asia conflict, the US has imposed a counter-blockade on Iranian ports, while Iran says it will charge passing ships for environmental protection—a move Washington opposes.
