Iran ‘master of asymmetric naval warfare’
A US-based think tank says Iran’s navy forces are capable of waging a unique asymmetric warfare against larger naval forces.
The report by The Washington Institute for the Near East Policy authored by Fariborz Haghshenas, an expert on the Iranian military, says that in the two decades since the Iran-Iraq War, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy (IRGCN) has been transformed into a highly motivated, well-equipped, and well-financed force.
The study sheds light on the historical evolution of Iran’s approach to asymmetric warfare, assessing its naval forces and evaluating its plans for a possible war with the US.
The report says Iran, with such a strong navy force, is effectively holding the world’s oil lifeline, the Strait of Hormuz.
The study concludes that Iran is capable of taking preemptive action in response to a perceived threat of imminent attack.
In the event of a US attack, the scale of Iran’s response would likely be proportional to the scale of the damage inflicted on Iranian assets, the report says.
