Iran’s ‘mosquito fleet’ defies Trump: satellite images show navy still active

Iran’s fast-attack “mosquito fleet” is continuing to operate inside the Strait of Hormuz despite a U.S. blockade push, exposing limits of maritime control in a crowded, asymmetric battlespace. Satellite imagery shows multiple Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy boats maneuvering through patrol zones, underscoring Tehran’s reliance on swarm tactics to evade larger U.S. assets. Even as Donald Trump claims Iran is under severe financial strain, the continued naval activity suggests operational resilience on the ground.
