Satellite imagery has captured a large fleet of more than 30 fast-attack craft belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy operating in the Strait of Hormuz. The presence of this 'mosquito fleet' follows a New York Times report detailing the U.S. military's difficulties in countering such swarms, which are capable of harassing and blocking commercial shipping in the critical chokepoint. This activity occurs amid ongoing regional tensions and a U.S.-imposed deadline for a peaceful settlement with Iran.
