Article Summary

The article argues that despite U.S. claims of destroying most of Iran's navy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps still has a significant and stealthy presence in the Strait of Hormuz through small, fast attack boats that can strike quickly and stay hidden. It highlights recent attacks on ships and cites experts and intelligence sources to show that Iran can still disrupt shipping using guerrilla-style tactics, even without large warships. The message is that the threat from Iran’s naval forces is ongoing and harder to eliminate than official statements suggest.
