Iran attacks 19 Vessels in Hormuz, Iran captures Underwater American Drone

WHAT IS IRAN REALLY TRYING TO ACHIEVE IN HORMUZ — CONTROL THE SEA OR FORCE WASHINGTON TO THE TABLE? By Saurabh Shukla The Strait of Hormuz is becoming the centre of a high-stakes military and diplomatic confrontation. Iran is reportedly targeting commercial vessels while the IRGC claims it has seized another US underwater drone. But is Tehran simply tightening its military grip on the waterway — or using Hormuz as leverage to force Washington back into negotiations? 👉🏽 The stakes extend far beyond the Gulf: shipping, energy markets and the credibility of US naval protection are all being tested. —— VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS 🔹 [00:00] Iran reportedly targets 19 ships in Hormuz 🔹 [02:46] Mining activity raises pressure around the Omani corridor 🔹 [03:23] IRGC claims seizure of US underwater drone 🔹 [12:06] Tehran signals readiness for prolonged war —— [00:33] IRAN REPORTEDLY TARGETS 19 SHIPS IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ Tehran is tightening pressure on one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints. Reports cited in the programme say 19 vessels were targeted over two nights, although the individual incidents and responsibility require independent verification. “और जो जानकारी है उसके मुताबिक पिछली दो रातों में उन्होंने स्टेट ऑफ हॉर्मोस में 19 जहाजों को निशाना बनाया है” [00:38] —— [02:46] IRGC CLAIMS SECOND US UNDERWATER DRONE SEIZURE Iran says its forces have captured another American unmanned underwater vehicle in Hormuz and handed it to Iranian specialists for examination. The IRGC has identified the system as a REMUS 600, although reporting has also carried a different identification, making the precise platform designation a developing detail.

Tehran says it could reopen the waterway if those conditions are met — turning the strait into a central bargaining chip in the wider conflict.

Iranian officials have also signalled that they are prepared for a prolonged conflict if diplomacy fails. “वी आर फुल्ली प्रिपयर्ड फॉर द वॉर टू बी रिज्यूम्ड” [12:06] —— THE BIG QUESTION Iran’s strategy increasingly appears to combine military pressure, control of maritime access and diplomacy.
