Intelligence summary

IRGC has released footage showing the fully intact and highly advanced Dive-LD unmanned submarine it seized in the Strait of Hormuz. US sent multiple MQ-1 drones, allegedly armed with guided missiles to locate and destroy the submarine but Iranian air defenses shot them down. If Iran reverse-engineers the submarine, it could become extremely useful for monitoring the Strait of Hormuz
