Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has seized a US military underwater drone in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Middle Eastern media citing an IRGC statement. The IRGC claimed the drone was engaged in espionage and that its capture was a complex operation involving intelligence and electronic warfare.

The US military has not yet commented on the claims. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies.
