On the evening of August 30, local time, a US unmanned boat with a navigation system cut off was towed away by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy in the Persian Gulf, and the United States negotiated with the Iranian side and sent patrol boats and helicopters to intercept it, and finally the unmanned boat was released, and there was no conflict between the two sides.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy said timely action against U.S. unmanned boats is aimed at securing routes and preventing potential accidents.
Iranian media said that in recent weeks, a large number of U.S. unmanned boats have been dispatched from Bahrain to international waters and international shipping lanes, a move that violates security agreements and affects the passage of shipping lanes.
On the other hand, the U.S. Navy Central Command issued a statement saying that when the U.S. military crossed the border in international waters, it found that an unmanned boat was towed by an Iranian support ship, and then negotiated with the Iranian side, and at the same time sent a patrol boat close to the unmanned boat, and dispatched the "SeaHawk" helicopter to fly above the unmanned boat, and finally the unmanned boat was released, and there was no conflict between the two sides.
