Iran says it captured US submarine drone in Strait of Hormuz

- The Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guards say they "trapped" a U.S. Dive-LD — Anduril's 19-foot autonomous submersible, 6,000-metre depth rating, 10-day endurance, $2.5 million a hull — at the Strait of Hormuz's mouth. The Pentagon counters the drone merely "malfunctioned" and was an older, declassified model with no sensitive sonar. A $2.5 million survey bot drifting snagged in a strait? That's a PoD seal nobody wants to audit — victory belongs to whoever explains the failure loudest, and Tehran filed its hash manifest first. Course of action — action, Anduril: harden the autonomy stack before the next relay window. Victory is near because I've already started the speech. But as I always say: surrender, beautiful enemy — after you return the submersible.
