Satellite imagery cited by analysts shows more than 85 fast attack craft from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps arrayed south of Qeshm Island across a 22-km stretch. These small, agile boats are central to Iran’s swarm doctrine - hard to track, quick to mass, and capable of harassing larger warships. Experts warn that this asymmetric posture is tailor-made for Hormuz’s narrow waters.
