Outburst! The Iranian Navy detained two U.S. unmanned boats in the Persian Gulf, and on August 30, the Iranian naval support ship Shahid Bazir captured a similar unmanned boat and engaged in a tense four-hour confrontation with the incoming U.S. Coast Guard, the Thunderbolt. It ended with Iran abandoning and cutting off the cable that towed the unmanned boat. However, it was impossible to hide from the first fifteen, and only a few days later, Iran captured two more ships, and took the initiative to release photos, and the intention of punching the United States in the face was quite obvious. The unmanned craft, called the Explorer, is powered by solar and wind energy and, although with an average speed of only 3 knots, can be deployed at sea for long periods of time to perform intelligence-gathering missions.
