[Iran strikes out at U.S. maritime unmanned vessel attempting to enter the Strait of Hormuz] On September 6, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement on the 6th local time stating that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy struck down a U.S. maritime unmanned vessel that attempted to enter Iran’s “protected area” in the Strait of Hormuz. Hours earlier, the United States and Iran had carried out military strikes against each other. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards had earlier warned that all ships near the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz "should not be deceived by the US military" and should avoid carrying out "suspicious operations" on any unauthorized routes, otherwise they will become targets. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have repeatedly emphasized that the control and management of the Strait of Hormuz "are solely the responsibility of the Revolutionary Guards Navy" and any behavior that interferes with order in the Strait will be resolutely responded to.
