Iran Seizes 'Malfunctioning' US Drone in Strait of Hormuz

Iranian forces have claimed to have seized an American underwater drone in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military, however, stated that the drone had "malfunctioned" more than a day prior to its capture and was not collecting sensitive data.

According to a U.S. Central Command spokesperson, the unmanned submersible was engaged in surveillance of regional waters when the malfunction occurred. The incident raises concerns about maritime security and potential escalations in the strategically vital waterway.
