Iran Claims Capture Of US Submarine Drone In Strait Of Hormuz

The Guards said the Remus 600 was operating for espionage and is now being examined for data recovery, state TV reported.

  • On Sunday, IRGC naval forces captured an American unmanned underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz through a complex operation involving intelligence oversight and electronic warfare. The Revolutionary Guards said personnel "successfully captured an advanced unmanned underwater vehicle belonging to the terrorist US military."
  • Since the Middle East war began in late February, Tehran has maintained a blockade of the Hormuz Strait, choking off shipping. Earlier this month, the Guards captured another US submarine drone in the same strategic waterway.
  • The seized Remus 600 UUV was allegedly "operating in the Strait of Hormuz for espionage purposes," according to the IRGC. The force added that the drone is "now in the hands of the force's specialists for data recovery."
  • President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal on Saturday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and halt regional fighting. Framing the offer as Tehran's weakness, Trump told reporters, "I reject their proposal; I rejected their deal."
  • Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on CBS's "Face the Nation" that Tehran remains open to talks but rejects "bullying or coercion." Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi added that Iran awaits official responses from mediators before deciding its next move.
