Satellite imagery captured a swarm of 33 fast attack boats belonging to the IRGC Navy returning to the Iranian coast after a patrol in the Strait of Hormuz. The boats are believed to have taken part in today's attacks on three commercial vessels, during which two ships were seized by IRGC forces. This visual evidence counters President Trump's claim that Iran's navy has been completely destroyed. The incident follows earlier reports of multiple ship attacks and seizures in the strategic waterway. The deployment underscores Iran's continued naval capability in the region.
