Iran briefly seizes 2 US Navy sea drones in Red Sea amid tensions

[Editor’s note: This story was updated late Friday afternoon to include a statement from the U.S. Navy.]

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s navy seized two American sea drones in the Red Sea before letting them go Friday after U.S. destroyers and helicopters responded, officials said. It was the second such maritime incident in less than a week involving the Navy’s new drone fleet in the Mideast.


Iranian state television aired footage it said came from the deck of the Iranian navy’s Jamaran destroyer, where lifejacket-wearing sailors examined two Saildrone Explorers. They tossed one overboard as a U.S. warship could be seen in the distance.

State TV said the Iranian navy found “several unmanned spying vessels abandoned in the international maritime routes” Thursday.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

They should be modified to explode, with a 10 minute delay, if removed from the water without a proper pass code. :pondering:

As I said in an earlier story, arm them so as to be able to defend themselves under the control of operators and if they are captured....
