Iran claims seizure of US unmanned submarine in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's armed forces claim to have captured a US unmanned underwater vehicle near the Strait of Hormuz in a dawn intelligence operation, but Washington has not confirmed the incident. If true, this marks a significant escalation in the ongoing standoff in the strategic waterway, potentially affecting maritime security and oil transit. The lack of US acknowledgment leaves the claim unverified.
