Al-Manar carried an IRGC Navy statement saying its electronic-warfare unit took control of a US MQM-170 reconnaissance and decoy drone and landed it safely in the western Strait of Hormuz. The statement does not date the operation. It names a different model and side of the strait from the separately reported MQ-1 interception off Sirik.
