\nThey added that the drone was \u201coperating in the Strait of Hormuz for espionage purposes”, identifying the model as a Remus 600 autonomous underwater vehicle that was \u201cnow in the hands of the force\u2019s specialists for data recovery”.
\nThe IRGC Navy also reiterated its position that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, warning that it would continue to respond to \u201cdangerous movements and unauthorized passage through the waterway.\u201d
\nEarlier in September, the IRGC Navy announced it had successfully intercepted and captured a highly advanced, unmanned American underwater vehicle at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.
\nThe captured system was identified as a Dive-LD, an autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle developed by US defense technology company Anduril Industries and first delivered to the US Navy\u2019s Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Group 1 in 2025.
\nThe latest capture comes amid a sharp escalation between Iran and the United States over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world\u2019s most strategically important maritime chokepoints.
\nOver the past decade, Iranian forces have successfully downed or captured numerous high-value US assets, including the RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone, MQ-9 Reaper drones, and various underwater gliders and surface vessels in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
