Iran has deployed small Ghadir-class submarines in the Strait of Hormuz, described as an "invisible guardian." These vessels, designed for shallow waters, can carry torpedoes or anti-ship missiles. Despite claims of effectiveness, they are reportedly noisy, have inexperienced crews, and face maintenance issues. Their deployment coincides with Iran's control over the strait and ongoing peace deal rejections with the US.
