IRGC claims to have captured advanced US submarine near Strait of Hormuz

Tehran, Sep 9 (UNI) Iran’s theocratic guard, the IRGC has claimed that its naval forces captured an unmanned US submarine near the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran and Washington continue exchanging tit for tat naval exchanges in their efforts to control the strategic waterway.
Iranian state media identified the vessel as a Dive-LD, an autonomous underwater vehicle developed by California-based defence company Anduril Industries. The approximately 6-metre (20ft) submersible is designed for extended missions including surveillance, seabed mapping and mine detection.
Washington, however, said the vessel had “malfunctioned a day ago”.
