Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they have seized a U.S. underwater drone operating in the Strait of Hormuz. The Guards state the device is a Remus 600 model and that it was carrying out espionage activities in the area.
Euronews and Free Malaysia Today both report the IRGC’s account that the drone is a REMUS 600. Euronews adds that the drone is handed over to Iranian military experts to retrieve its data, while Free Malaysia Today emphasizes the claimed purpose of espionage. The Vancouver Sun also attributes to the IRGC the allegation that the drone was in the strait for espionage purposes.
Across outlets, the reporting centers on the same IRGC claims: a U.S. underwater drone of the Remus 600 type is seized in the Strait of Hormuz, with the intended mission described as intelligence gathering. The sources differ mainly in emphasis, particularly on the handling of the drone and the stated next steps for data recovery.
