The Dive-LD is Anduril's ~3-ton autonomous underwater drone — about 19 ft long, capable of 10-day missions down to 6,000 m depth, with a 3D-printed free-flooded hull and modular payload bays.

It costs roughly $2.5M per unit.

The Navy first received them in April 2025 under the Replicator program, and Anduril is scaling production to 200/year in Rhode Island.

Iran's IRGC appears to have captured one intact near the Strait of Hormuz.

Circulating footage credibly match the Dive-LD's distinctive features.

🛢️ Brent crude hit $99/barrel today — a six-week high.

U.S. gas hit a Labor Day record of $4.15/gallon.

Banks warn prices could reach $120–$150 if fighting escalates.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

After 47 years of sanctions, the US went to war with Iran on behalf of Israel.

The fallout has been disastrous for America, including its standing worldwide.

After failing to achieve its aims through sanctions or war, Washington’s “novel” solution is…more sanctions. Seriously?

Russia-Armenia relations remain normal despite occasional tensions, said Igor Chaika, head of Rossotrudnichestvo.

“These are normal relations, like in a big family; everything happens,” Chaika said when asked about the current state of ties between Moscow and Yerevan.

Netanyahu:

We have to complete the mission. To eliminate the Iranian threat once and for all means defeating this regime.

It will fall — we must bring it down, eliminate Hezbollah once and for all, and eliminate Hamas.

Now I ask a simple question: who will do this? Us, who fought, or Eisenkot? The one who asked to surrender and leave Gaza — to leave Gaza and surrender to Hamas’s dictates.

The answer is clear: only we will do it. Nobody else will do it.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:

I have decided to deliver urgently needed PAC-2 interceptor missiles from Bundeswehr stocks to Ukraine.

IRGC Spokesperson:

The early-morning capture of the U.S. military’s most advanced 2025 unmanned submarine shows that no advanced technology can get past our surveillance layers in the Strait of Hormuz.

Dominance over the Persian Gulf belongs to our young technologists. Go back to the Bay of Pigs.

The commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters:

I hereby warn that any attack on Iranian tankers will prompt Iran’s Armed Forces to target U.S. bases across the region.

Several explosions were heard near the Kharg Island anchorage, Iran’s Mehr News reports.

No official information has been released on the cause or possible damage.

Republican Senator Rick Scott:

If we want to win in November, we are going to have to start acting like we care about the cost of living in this country.

Republican Senator Rick Scott:

If we don’t get the House, Trump is gonna get impeached.

BIG: New poll shows AfD at 45% in East Germany — up 13 points from the 2025 election and nearly four times the CDU's 12%.

Rep. Carlos Giménez on high gas prices:

Yeah, we’re suffering a little bit because we want to make sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.

I’m willing to pay that price to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.

Rep. Carlos Giménez:

We will be paying much higher gas prices if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, because then they can control the Strait of Hormuz.

Rep. Carlos Giménez:

We need to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.

And if that takes a little bit longer than six weeks, then so be it.

Germany's Merkel on the AfD’s victory in Sunday’s Saxony-Anhalt election:

It’s simply shocking. At least, that’s how I felt. And nobody tried to sugarcoat it — not even the CDU.

This is a turning point, a real turning point, that we are experiencing in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany.

And, just to say something a little more emotional: it breaks your heart — or rather, as a CDU member, it breaks my heart. I really have to say that.

Senior U.S. officials to Fox News:

U.S. military has struck targets near Kharg Island and Jask.

The targets include Iranian oil tankers. This is part of a larger effort to squeeze Iran economically.

The strategy includes sinking and disabling Iranian crude oil tankers.

German AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla on Ukraine:

We are producing drones in Germany that are being used to launch attacks into the Russian hinterland, and we reject that.

We have always said — and this is also in our party program — no arms deliveries to crisis regions and war zones.

German AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla on Russia:

We need to end the sanctions policy on Russia.

What have sanctions actually achieved in the past?

Of course, first of all, we have to start talking to each other again.

But this spiral of sanctions — including the closure of the Russian House and the Russian consulate in Bonn — doesn’t help anyone.

What do we actually gain from it?

Q: Would you lift all sanctions on Russia?

German AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla:

Yes. I consider sanctions in any form to be pointless, and above all they have massively damaged the German economy itself.

German AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla:

Do you know why Viktor Orbán went to Moscow? Hungarians pay 2.53 cents per kilowatt-hour for gas.

Yes, that is what he achieved there for his own population. That is sovereignty. He secured a good gas supplier for Hungary.

We pay 10 or 12 cents per kilowatt-hour.
