Iran uses small boats in Hormuz Strait

Iran's military is employing a fleet of small, agile vessels, dubbed 'mosquito' boats, to disrupt maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. This strategy emerges after Iran's traditional naval forces suffered significant losses from US-Israeli operations. The deployment of these smaller, more numerous craft aims to cripple passageways and exert influence in the critical waterway. This tactic highlights Iran's adaptation of naval warfare in response to conventional military pressures, focusing on asymmetric capabilities to maintain strategic leverage.
