  "summary": "Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has claimed to have intercepted a second US underwater drone in the Strait of Hormuz, stating it is a REMUS 600 vehicle used for surveillance and seabed mapping. The IRGC Navy asserts that they seized the vessel during a coordinated intelligence and electronic warfare operation, and plan to hand it over to Iranian military experts for data retrieval. This is the second time in recent days that Tehran has made such a claim, with the first being the interception of a Dive-LD underwater vehicle from Anduril on Tuesday. The IRGC Navy also reiterated its claim that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, warning of confrontation against any unauthorized passage or military activity. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping route for around one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, and recent tensions in the region have been heightened by Iran's control assertions and plans to charge transit fees, drawing strong opposition from the United States and its allies.",
