Summary
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it captured a U.S. Remus 600 unmanned underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz and handed it to specialists for data recovery; U.S. Central Command did not immediately comment.
Abbas Araghchi said Tehran still wants a negotiated exit but will not reopen Hormuz unless Washington meets conditions including halting attacks, ending the naval blockade and releasing Iranian assets.
Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest proposal, while U.S. Ambassador Michael Waltz called it unacceptable and said all options remain on the table to stop Iran from using a nuclear threat as leverage.
The clash comes as Iranian commanders say the war that began with Feb. 28 U.S.-Israeli strikes is not over, even as U.N. General Assembly contacts helped push WTI down 7.9% for the week to $92.41 and Brent to $104.32.
