Iran continues launching drones against vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report from OSINTdefender. The US military has shot down several Iranian drones and targeted their ground control stations. The report follows a series of similar incidents over the past week.
This bulletin reports continued Iranian drone activity in the Strait of Hormuz, as the US military intercepts multiple drones and strikes their ground control stations. The information comes from a single open-source intelligence account (OSINTdefender) with no official US or Israeli confirmation at this stage.
As The Zioneer reported at 06:49 Jerusalem this morning, Iran has been launching drones at ships in the strait since the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington — with all drones intercepted by US forces, according to an Israeli diplomatic source. Earlier coverage on June 7 documented CENTCOM downing two Iranian suicide drones, and a June 13 bulletin detailed intercepts of explosive-laden drones targeting commercial shipping.
The current report, if accurate, represents a continuation of the pattern of Iranian drone attacks and US defensive responses in the strategic waterway. It remains unclear whether the US strikes on ground control stations mark an escalation beyond the earlier interception-only posture. No civilian or military casualties have been reported.
