[The U.S. military denies Iran’s claim that it destroyed a U.S. maritime drone.] On October 31, the U.S. Central Command posted on social media that on October 30, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that it destroyed a U.S. maritime drone in the Strait of Hormuz. This statement was wrong. On October 30, local time, the Iranian Navy stated that its forces destroyed and sunk an enemy unmanned ship operating in the eastern Strait of Hormuz operating area that morning. Iran also stated that two oil tankers operating in the no-navigation zone and unsafe areas in the eastern Strait of Hormuz ignored Iran's warnings and regulations and were damaged and caught fire after hitting mines. Iran warned its enemies that any action, infiltration or provocation within the area under the jurisdiction of the Iranian Armed Forces will be met with a strong counterattack by the Iranian Navy.
