> Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says its Coast Guard destroyed a US Saildrone uncrewed surface craft, hull number 5838, near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC said the strike thwarted the vessel’s “aggressive mission.” Two days earlier, its Navy said it had captured a Dive-LD autonomous underwater vehicle.
