The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) rejected the claim of the Islamic Republic of Iran to destroy an American drone. The US Army announced in a message on social networks: "All US Army UAVs in the Middle East are safe and under control; Including a squadron of advanced unmanned vessels patrolling the Strait of Hormuz and supporting Centcom's defense layer." Earlier, the Revolutionary Guards Navy announced that it targeted and destroyed an unmanned American vessel that was moving in the operational area of this force in the east of the Strait of Hormuz.
