Yes — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said on September 10, 2026, that it targeted a U.S. Saildrone Explorer-type unmanned surface vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement carried by Sepah News and reported by Iran International, the IRGC identified the craft as a Fifth Fleet–operated Saildrone and said the strike thwarted an “aggressive mission.” State media outlet Tasnim released an image it said showed the vessel on fire afterward.
Anadolu Agency reported the same claim, citing hull number 5838, and noted the IRGC did not detail the weapon used, the damage, or the exact timing. There was no immediate confirmation from the U.S. military.
