The spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Hossein Mohebbi, said the Strait of Hormuz is a hunting ground for the IRGC Navy against US underwater vehicles and described the latest capture as both a technological and intelligence trophy, according to the Mehr News Agency.

According to Mohebbi, the second prey captured is an Mk 18 Mod 2 Kingfish, an advanced autonomous underwater vehicle with sonar and precise navigation, worth several million dollars.
