US drone submarine captured by Iran
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that they seized a US unmanned submarine, of the "Dive-LD" type, at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, marking a new escalation between Iran and the United States in this strategic waterway. The "Dive-LD" is an autonomous underwater vehicle developed by an American company, capable of operating for up to 10 days, reaching depths of up to 6,000 meters. It is used for reconnaissance missions, intelligence gathering, mine detection, and inspecting underwater infrastructure. This incident is significant for Iran because it allows them to examine the vessel and analyze advanced American technology, potentially aiding in the development of their naval capabilities. Meanwhile, Washington states that the vehicle was an older, non-functional model and did not carry any secret technologies. This event occurs amid rising tensions between the two sides over control of this vital passage.
