Iran's IRGC claims capture of US underwater drone near Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim to have captured a US uncrewed submarine at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, a first publicized incident of its kind. The claim is unverified and likely aimed at signaling Iran's capability to monitor and interdict US underwater assets in a critical chokepoint. This could escalate tensions in the region and affect perceptions of maritime security.
