Iran said it destroyed a U.S. naval drone at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington announced sanctions targeting Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) has said it destroyed a U.S.-operated naval drone at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC's official news outlet Sepha News reported.
“The IRGC Navy, with the help of God Almighty, hit an enemy unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), with hull number 5838 and a 'Sil-Dron' type, at the entrance to the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and thwarted its aggressive mission," the IRGC said in a statement.
Washington meanwhile announced economic sanctions targeting the Iran-backed Shia paramilitary group, Kataib Hezbollah.
“The actions announced today expose the extent to which Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods Force has co-opted Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces and exploited commercial networks in Iraq, the UAE, Türkiye, and Lebanon to fund terrorism and evade international sanctions,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement.
