Iran’s so-called “Mosquito Fleet” has emerged as a major factor in tensions across the Strait of Hormuz, with analysts pointing to the growing role of fast-attack boats and drone vessels in asymmetric naval warfare. Operated largely by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the fleet relies on swarm tactics, speed, and coastal concealment to pressure commercial shipping and challenge larger naval forces. The developments come amid heightened maritime insecurity, rising insurance costs, and continued concerns over global energy supply routes.
