Iran’s IRGC says advanced MQ-1 drone ‘destroyed’ over Strait of Hormuz
U.S. officials said the IRGC tried to take a Navy drone, and forces destroyed two boats as 40 ships a day now transit the strait.
- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on Monday to have shot down an American MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz using a newly deployed air-defense system, according to state broadcaster IRIB.
- The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical energy chokepoint where Central Command guides roughly 40 ships daily amid a prolonged Military Conflict as both sides seek control over this vital waterway.
- Central Command reported a different account: forces destroyed two Iranian small boats Monday after they attempted to seize an American Saildrone. Captain Tim Hawkins confirmed the vessel remains under United States Navy operational control.
- President Donald Trump claimed on Monday that Oil prices would drop once the Military Conflict concludes, as ongoing maritime confrontations continue disrupting global shipping routes and pressuring energy markets.
- Conflicting reports emerged regarding missing fishermen near Larak Island, though American officials maintain the Saildrone was not sensitive, calling it an "older model that neither collected sensitive data nor carried any classified sonar or radar equipment.
