Iranian state TV aired footage showing fast boats carrying armed personnel boarding two container ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The incident highlights Iran’s continued use of swarm tactics involving small, fast attack craft, which analysts say could challenge claims that its naval threat has been neutralized and complicate efforts to secure the vital oil shipping route.
The U.S. has previously said Iran’s navy has been heavily degraded, though fast attack boats were not targeted. Security experts say Iran still possesses hundreds or even thousands of these vessels, which can carry heavy weapons and are often hidden along its coast.
