Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps tried to capture a US unmanned vessel, but a US Navy patrol ship and helicopter stopped them
Business InsiderAUG 2022
This incident once again demonstrates Iran's continued destabilizing, illegal, and unprofessional activity in the Middle East. The US naval forces remain vigilant and will continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international laws allow while promoting rules-based international order throughout the region.
This latest incident shows that the illegal US military presence in the Persian Gulf threatens the region's security and stability. The IRGC acted solely to prevent accidents in shipping routes, promptly releasing the USV to a US patrol ship and instructing it on security risks.
