WorldIran claims seizure of US underwater drone, while Washington says it malfunctioned

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says its naval forces captured a US unmanned submarine at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz in a complex intelligence operation. Centcom says the older, defective drone had malfunctioned more than a day earlier, was surveilling regional waters and carried neither sensitive data nor classified sonar or radar equipment.
