America's Archenemy Announced that It Had Hunted Down the Remus 600 Underwater Spy Device with Electronic Weapons
Iran said the IRGC Navy recovered the drone’s data after a coordinated intelligence and electronic warfare operation.
- On Sunday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced it seized a U.S. Remus 600 autonomous underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the drone was operating for espionage purposes.
- President Donald Trump rejected Iran's seven-day peace proposal on Saturday, hours before the seizure announcement. Tehran had sought to reopen the strait and pause regional fighting through Qatari mediators.
- IRGC specialists are analyzing the captured Remus 600 for data recovery. The force reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to unauthorized traffic, a claim unverified by U.S. officials.
- U.S. military sources reported 60 ships passed through the Strait on Wednesday, contradicting Tehran's insistence that the waterway remains fully blockaded. Neither U.S. Central Command nor the Department of Defense confirmed the seizure claim.
- Around 20% of global oil transits the Strait of Hormuz, making Tehran's recurring electronic warfare tactics strategically significant. This seizure marks the second UUV capture since September 11, signaling an escalating pattern of naval disruption.
