  "summary": "Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been below average, with six commodity vessels transiting on Tuesday, according to Kpler data. This is a decrease from nine the previous day and below the 10-day average of around 12.\n\nIran's Revolutionary Guards claim to have captured a US uncrewed submarine at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian state media, the vessel was a Dive-LD, a large autonomous underwater vehicle built by California defence firm Anduril. The 5.8-metre submersible can carry out various missions, including mine countermeasures and intelligence gathering.\n\nThe Pentagon has responded, stating that an underwater drone had \"malfunctioned more than a day ago\" while surveying regional waters in support of ongoing operations. The drone was described as an older model that did not collect sensitive data or carry classified equipment.",
