Iran says it captured an 'advanced' American underwater drone. The US says it was older, malfunctioning, and ‘dead in the water.’

Iran says it seized a US Navy underwater drone near the Strait of Hormuz and even shared photos of the haul.
US Central Command says the older drone had malfunctioned, was "dead in the water," and carried no classified or sensitive equipment.
The incident follows a pattern — uncrewed sea drones are increasingly used in the region for intel, mine-clearing, rescues and strikes, and Iran has tried to seize US drones before.
