Iran's IRGC Seizes US Drone in Strait of Hormuz, Escalating Tensions

Iranian Revolutionary Guards confirmed the seizure of a US drone in the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway Tehran claims to have effectively closed since the start of the war against it over six months ago. This marks a direct military confrontation between US and Iranian forces, potentially escalating the conflict and threatening global oil transit. The closure of the strait, if enforced, would have severe implications for energy markets and international shipping.
