Iran claims capture of U.S. underwater drone, Pentagon calls it defective
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy said it seized a U. S. Dive-LD autonomous underwater vehicle near the Strait of Hormuz, and the Pentagon called the drone a malfunctioning older model. Earlier, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the capture of an American-made Anduril Dive-LD underwater drone, noting its visual similarity to U. S.
Navy systems. The U. S. military described the captured submersible as an older, defective model that did not contain sensitive equipment.
