IRGC Claims MQ-9 Drone Shot Down Over Strait of Hormuz

💥 HORMUZ — IRGC kills US ISR over the strait; CENTCOM just went partially blind. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: MQ-9s over Hormuz are CENTCOM's mine-detection and convoy-escort eyes. Losing one degrades the escorted transit model that is Washington's primary credibility tool. Tehran timed this for maximum signal: after mine-laying, after ballistic missiles, now anti-aircraft. Each domain tested in sequence. US response calculus now includes whether to replace the asset — and whether the next one survives.
