U.S. downplays Iran’s seizure of unmanned sub in Hormuz Strait

Share

The U.S. military said Tuesday that the unmanned submersible seized by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz was defective and contained no sensitive data or classified equipment. Navy Captain Tim Hawkins confirmed the drone operated by U.S. forces had malfunctioned while surveying regional waters. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it captured what it described as one of the most modern unmanned submarines of the American military. Iranian media identified the vessel as a Dive-LD, an autonomous undersea vehicle developed by U.S. defense contractor Anduril, priced at $2.5 million each. The incident comes three days after the U.S. and Iran exchanged attacks in the Persian Gulf.
