## Resource

Iranian boats attempted to seize a U.S. drone ship near the Strait of Hormuz, but CENTCOM’s swift response thwarted the effort — and Iran’s state media flipped the script, claiming their fishermen were attacked. These unmanned Saildrones, about 25 feet long and non-classified, are vital for monitoring maritime traffic in one of the world’s most critical chokepoints. The military confirmed all drones are accounted for, including an older underwater model recently recovered by Iran — which they say was malfunctioning and carried no sensitive data.
