Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has captured a second US-made Remus 600 unmanned underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the report. The incident points to continued friction between Iranian forces and the US Navy over surveillance drones operating in one of the world's most critical oil shipping lanes, and follows an earlier seizure of the same type of equipment.
Why now: Ongoing US-Iran naval tensions in the Strait of Hormuz make each drone seizure a symbolically charged escalation.
