Yes. On September 6, 2026, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its navy struck an American unmanned surface vessel that was attempting to enter what Tehran called a restricted area of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Associated Press reported that the United States did not immediately confirm the purported attack. The claim came a day after U.S. Central Command said American forces had disabled or destroyed three Iranian oil tankers following IRGC ballistic-missile attacks aimed at U.S. warships.
The exchange is part of a renewed flare-up along the strait, a chokepoint for global oil and gas shipping, after months of on-and-off fighting since a June ceasefire announcement.
