US Navy destroys two IRGC boats attempting to seize American drone in Hormuz

CENTCOM said the U.S. Navy destroyed two Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps boats that attempted to seize an American surface drone operating in the Strait of Hormuz, stating the drone remains under U.S. operational control.

Why this matters. A direct US-IRGC clash over an unmanned asset in the Strait raises the risk of further tit-for-tat naval incidents that could disrupt tanker transits through the world's most important oil chokepoint.
