[U.S. Media Claims Iran's 'Mosquito Fleet' Hinders U.S. Military Operations]
According to a report by Jinse Finance on April 27, citing CCTV International News, after the first round of U.S.-Iran negotiations ended without results, the U.S. imposed a maritime blockade on Iran while continuously issuing threats of war. However, a recent report by U.S. media stated that a so-called 'Mosquito Fleet' composed of small, high-speed boats is putting the U.S. Navy in a difficult position.
U.S. President Trump recently stated on social media that he has ordered the U.S. Navy to open fire and sink any vessels found laying mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump emphasized that this order applies to Iran's small boats, saying there should be 'no hesitation whatsoever.'
U.S. media claims that the target Trump referred to is Iran's so-called 'Mosquito Fleet.' The 'Mosquito Fleet' is a naval force under the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, consisting of numerous small, high-speed boats specifically designed for asymmetric warfare in narrow waterways like the Strait of Hormuz. These boats are used to harass and threaten larger vessels.
The report suggests that Trump's remarks reflect how Iran's asymmetric warfare strategy is hindering U.S. naval operations, forcing U.S. aircraft and ships to track a large number of Iranian speedboats in the Strait of Hormuz. (Dongxin News Agency)
