Iran seizes US unmanned sub
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed that it seized an American unmanned submarine at the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz, in an incident that coincides with rising military tensions and Iran's increased efforts to monitor and restrict navigation in this vital waterway. The submarine, which was seized early Tuesday morning and is considered one of the latest technologies, was equipped with reconnaissance systems, seabed mapping capabilities, and mine detection. It is classified as a military model delivered to the U.S. Navy in 2025. The United States clarified that the unmanned submarine that malfunctioned a day prior did not carry classified equipment or sensitive data, noting that it was an older model. These developments come amid Iran's ongoing restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil export routes, amidst escalating tensions with the United States, which has imposed counter-sanctions on Iranian ports.
