Trump’s Hormuz Nightmare: Iran Claims ‘US Submarine’ Capture

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 21:31:00 +0530

The Strait of Hormuz standoff has taken a new turn after Iran`s IRGC claimed it captured an American unmanned underwater drone during operations in the strategic waterway. Iranian forces reportedly identified the vehicle as an American-built Dive-LD unmanned submersible, a system designed for extended underwater missions including intelligence gathering, seabed surveys and infrastructure-related operations. The reported capture has drawn attention because the US military is increasingly investing in unmanned naval systems to conduct high-risk surveillance missions without putting sailors directly in harm`s way. Dive-LD is designed to operate for up to 10 days at sea and reach depths of around 6,000 metres. However, Washington has sought to play down the incident. The Pentagon reportedly said the underwater drone had malfunctioned more than a day before Iran made its capture claim and stressed that the vehicle was an older system carrying no sensitive or classified equipment.

Students have alleged that they are being charged as much as ₹25,000 for windowless rooms with limited basic amenities. In some accommodations, as many as 10 residents are reportedly dependent on a single toilet.
