Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy claimed on September 27 to have captured a US Remus 600 unmanned underwater vehicle operating in the Strait of Hormuz, according to statements from multiple IRGC-affiliated Telegram channels.
The IRGC stated that its naval fighters, "through a coordinated and complex action with intelligence and electronic warfare," trapped an advanced drone of the "American terrorist army" operating in the strait for espionage purposes. The statement described the captured vehicle as one of the "intelligent and advanced sub-surface" drones named Remus 600, now in the hands of IRGC experts for "information recovery."
The IRGC Navy declared that "the Strait of Hormuz is blocked" and that it is "dealing with dangerous movements and transit through unauthorized routes" with "determination and uninterrupted confrontation."
This report remains unconfirmed. No independent verification is available, and there has been no response from US military authorities. The claims originate solely from Iranian state-affiliated sources.
