Iran briefly seizes 2 US sea drones in Red Sea amid tensions

DUBAI, 03 September 2022, (TON): Officials said “Iran’s navy seized two American sea drones in the Red Sea before letting them go, in the latest maritime incident involving the US Navy’s new drone fleet in the Mideast.”

Iranian state television aired footage it said came from the deck of the Iranian navy’s Jamaran destroyer, where lifejacket-wearing sailors examined two Saildrone Explorers.

They tossed one overboard as another warship could be seen in the distance.

State TV said “the Iranian navy found several unmanned spying vessels abandoned in the international maritime routes.”

After two warnings to an American destroyer to prevent possible incidents, Jamaran seized the two vessels.
