America; Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attempted to seize an unmanned US ship in the oil-rich Persian Gulf, but tensions between the two countries continue despite efforts to get out of their impasse to restore the 2015 nuclear deal continues.

According to a statement from the US Navy's 5th Fleet, a nearby US patrol boat reacted by launching a combat helicopter after an IRGCN ship was seen tramping the Seldron Explorer late on Monday.

According to the US report, the Iranian ship then cut off its tow line with a maritime drone and left the area four hours later without any further incident.

Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the US Naval Forces Central Command, said in a statement that the IRGCN's actions were "inconsistent, inappropriate and inconsistent with the behavior of a professional maritime force."

Promoting a rules-based international order across the region is something US naval forces are committed to doing while remaining vigilant and continuing to fly, sail and operate wherever international law permits.

The drone ship is seven meters (23 ft) long and has sensors, radar and cameras for data collection and navigation. According to the US Navy, the ship does not have any sensitive or secret information.

The incident was not acknowledged by Iran's paramilitary guard, which reports directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. An inquiry by the Iranian mission to the United Nations was not immediately responded to for comment.

According to the state-run Noor News, the Iranian ship "took control of and towed a US boat to ensure the safety of the shipping route and prevent possible incidents", which described the US Navy's account as a "false, Hollywood legend". referred to as. ,

Noor said without citing a source that the IRGC was made to "understand the issues relating to safety and safe navigation" to the Americans before leaving the boat on the ship's commander.

The dispute comes at a turning point in Washington and Tehran's efforts to revive the historic nuclear deal, which lifted sanctions on Iran's economy and allowed significant oil exports in exchange for tighter limits on its nuclear activity.

European arbitrators have framed the most recent attempt to revive the agreement as the final push, and the bloc has spent the past two weeks defending resolutions between nations as they negotiate outstanding issues.

After President Donald Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018, the Persian Gulf had a security crisis characterized largely by retaliatory strikes on shipping and energy infrastructure.
