Description:
Iran says its forces recovered a U.S.-operated underwater drone at the Strait of Hormuz. The United States says the Anduril Dive-LD malfunctioned during a survey mission. In this episode, defence analyst Pravin Sawhney joins Zulfiqar Ali to explain what the vehicle can do, why its 6,000-metre operating depth and roughly 10-day endurance matter, and what the incident may reveal about the underwater contest around the world’s most important oil chokepoint.
The discussion also examines Iran’s confirmed ballistic-missile launches toward a U.S. aircraft carrier and destroyer, Tehran’s newly announced maritime restricted zone, the Iran–Oman shipping corridor, the Pakistan–Saudi Arabia–Türkiye defence framework, the Yemen escalation and the approaching BRICS summit in New Delhi. Damage claims, casualty reports and private-source assertions are identified as disputed or unverified rather than presented as settled fact.
