[86363] Reports of Revolutionary Guards drone activity in the Strait of Hormuz following memorandum of understanding with the US

Hostile activity in the Strait of Hormuz following the signing of the memorandum of understanding

According to reports by the NBC network, cited by Vahid Online, Iran continues to launch a "large" number of unmanned aerial vehicles toward commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. This activity follows the "electronic" signing of a memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington last Sunday.

According to a report on the Iran International website, an American official stated that the Revolutionary Guards have been operating drones toward vessels every night since the signing of the memorandum. The same official emphasized that the US military is succeeding in intercepting these vehicles before they can pose a real threat to the commercial ships, military vessels, or ship crews in the area.

American security sources, as cited in the Vahid Online report, note that the US military continues to coordinate closely with shipping companies to ensure the safe passage of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The situation raises questions regarding the effectiveness of the memorandum of understanding signed between the parties, as hostile activity continues in parallel with diplomatic channels.

Note: The reporting channels tend to have a critical stance toward the Iranian government, with Iran International being funded and operated by entities identified with opposition to the Iranian regime, and Vahid Online focusing on documenting violations and critical reports on the policy of the Islamic Republic.
