IRGC captures two US submarine drones in Strait of Hormuz

IRGC said it captured the uncrewed submarine at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, offering a rare glimpse into how underwater drones are being used in military operations.

The vessel is a Dive-LD, a large autonomous underwater vehicle built by California defense firm Anduril.

The 19-foot submersible can carry out missions including mine countermeasures, seabed mapping, intelligence gathering and the inspection of underwater infrastructure such as cables and pipelines.

In a separate operation in Iran’s territorial waters, the IRGC Navy said it targeted two U.S. vessels and eight tankers in the Persian Gulf in response to a U.S. attack on five Iranian tankers.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said it also targeted ten ships attempting to transit the prohibited and unsafe zone in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement, the IRGC Navy said the operations were carried out in response to the "aggression and mischief" of the "terrorist American army" against five Iranian tankers in the Persian Gulf. Two U.S. vessels and eight tankers were targeted, sustaining heavy damage, the force said.

It said ten more vessels, attempting to cross the prohibited and unsafe zone of the Strait of Hormuz with the encouragement and support of the U.S. military, were also targeted.

The IRGC Navy said the Strait of Hormuz remains under the firm monitoring and management of its forces.
