Iran’s conventional navy warships might be largely destroyed, but analysts say that’s never where its true sea power lay.The country’s ability to credibly threaten commercial ships passing through theStrait of Hormuzactually hinges on multiple layers of cheap and unconventional warfare systems – drones, mines and a fleet of small attack boats, which are harder to detect than traditional naval assets.Dubbed the “mosquito fleet” by military analysts, these small vessels deployed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and crucially the missiles, guns and other weapons those boats can deploy, present a huge strategic challenge to the United States military as it attempts to mitigate threats across a huge area of sea.It’s essentially guerrilla warfare on the water, with the geography also favoring Iran as there isno alternative route for shipsneeding to pass through the narrowStrait of Hormuz chokepoint.“The number of vessels that would be required to provide area defense for commercial shipping, which is ultimately what this is about, would be quite significant,” said Sidharth Kaushal, a senior research fellow on sea power at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence (RUSI) think tank. “And of course, that can prove immensely resource intensive.”The IRGC’s use of small boats goes back decades, particularly after the US military proved it could decimate Iran’s traditional navy duringoperations in the Persian Gulf in 1988. Since then, “the regular Iranian Navy was always something of a parade ground force, whereas the IRGC’s Navy, which was built around asymmetrical assets that the Iranians thought would actually be useful in a war… was always the more strategically important asset,” Kaushal said.In this photo released by Iran's state news Tasnim News Agency, an IRGC speedboat approaches the cargo ship Epaminondas during what state media described as the seizure of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on April 21, 2026.Meysam Mirzadeh/Tasnim News Agency/APThes

伊朗的常规海军军舰可能会在很大程度上被摧毁,但分析人士表示,这绝不是其真正的海上力量所在。该国可靠地威胁通过霍尔木扎海峡的商船的能力实际上取决于多层廉价和非常规战争系统——无人机、水雷和小型攻击艇舰队,这些系统比传统海军资产更难被发现。军事分析人士称这些小型船只为“蚊子舰队”,由伊斯兰革命军部署
