Description: 
Seyed M. Marandi tells Nima Alkhorshid that the IRGC reported hitting an MQ-1 in southern Iran, and that Iranian air defenses have hit 17 MQ-1s and 56 MQ-9s so far. He says the drones fly from Arab states on the Persian Gulf into Iranian airspace to map anti-ship missiles.

The Iranian Navy reported an oil tanker struck a naval mine in the south of the Strait of Hormuz, in an area it calls prohibited. Marandi says Iran has hit ships harder since the US midterms, with mines, anti-ship missiles, and heavy drones, and that some of those ships sink.
