Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy announced on Tuesday that it has captured an unmanned US underwater vessel at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian state media reports.

The incident marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, with Iran claiming seizure of advanced American maritime technology in one of the world’s most strategically important waterways. The Strait of Hormuz is critical for global oil transportation and has been a flashpoint for US-Iran tensions.

Multiple Israeli and international sources report the incident, though details about the type of vessel and circumstances of the capture remain disputed between Iranian and US accounts. The capture of unmanned systems represents a pattern of Iranian operations in the Persian Gulf aimed at asserting regional dominance.
