Iran IRGC claims strike on US surveillance vessel in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's IRGC Navy claims it struck a US unmanned surveillance vessel (hull 5838) in the Strait of Hormuz, warning of further strikes on 'hostile movement.' The claim is unverified and marks a potential escalation in the strategic waterway, threatening shipping and regional stability. The incident follows a pattern of Iran harassing US naval assets, but a direct strike would be a significant escalation.
