Iran says it seized US underwater drone in Strait of Hormuz
The IRGC said the Remus 600 was operating for espionage and was handed to specialists for data recovery.
- On Sunday, the Revolutionary Guards seized an American Remus 600 autonomous submarine drone in the Strait of Hormuz, alleging the vessel was conducting espionage operations.
- President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal on Saturday to reopen the strait and pause hostilities, framing Tehran's offer as a sign of weakness rather than genuine negotiation.
- The IRGC stated they captured the drone through electronic warfare, declaring the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to "dangerous movements" and unauthorized traffic in the waterway.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran remains open to diplomatic talks but will not accept "bullying or coercion" from the United States in any settlement.
- Traffic through the Strait—which facilitates around 20% of global oil and 25% of LNG—remains severely restricted amid the blockade and stalled diplomatic channels.
