IRGC Captures Advanced US Unmanned Submersible Near Strait of Hormuz; Targets Two Vessels and 8 Tankers

The IRGC announced the capture of a sophisticated US unmanned submersible in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments. The operation occurred shortly after the IRGC claimed to have targeted two US naval vessels and eight oil tankers. The US has not yet confirmed these attacks, though it has expressed concern over the heightened activity in the region. The event underscores the ongoing strategic rivalry between Iran and the United States in the Persian Gulf.
