Good thing we completely obliterated their navy when this thing started right? There's no fast attack ships left to do that with, right?

Fwiw, the conventional Iranian Navy (IRIN) appears to have been largely eliminated (lots of photos of them being struck in port largely) but the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) which is basically only little fast boats may still have some capability.

I was under the impression that the IRGC was better funded and better equipped than the IRIN.

There are reports of a carrier -the most protected of US navel vessels departing theatre damaged by small drones and speedboats. The efficacy of those vaunted US ship to ship weapons seems a little underwhelming. Swarms of gnats, are bloody hard to wholly eliminate.

Great point, I wonder if sailors will appreciate this fact when they are under attack by IRGC fast attack boats

Bruvvimir Apr 14, 2026 +12
Those boats are the equivalent of a Hilux with an MG mounted at the back. Don't think the US Navy is particularly concerned.
12
InvestigatorOk9354 Apr 14, 2026 +4
That's reassuring, so the US Navy should be able to reopen the strait without any issues then, right?

Reopen? Why? If they’re closing it right now.

You seem a little slow, so let me assist. They are not a threat to the US Navy. A commercial vessel is a different story.

Unlikely, shooitng $5m missiles is a losing equation. The US has been using been using a-10 as the counter to IRGC boats.

HyenaThen572 Apr 14, 2026 +4
You realize that our ships have traditional munitions for this kind of thing, right? It's literally why the 5 inch navel gun even exists.

Odd-Seaworthiness826 Apr 14, 2026 -1
A single gun, even multiple guns is not an effective  solution It lacks the range and speed to handeling a 1500 boat getting in range to launch torpedos.  It was not designed to handle a swarm.  This was literally the scenario that was exposed in the 2002 millennium challenge. During the games Marine Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper sunk a US fleet using a swarm of attack boats.  Iran has modeled their defense after those games The A-10 is the counter to that. Its has the range, armour, ammo to handle this threat. 
-1
HyenaThen572 Apr 14, 2026 +4
You think a 1500 boat swarm is going to be put together? Not a chance in hell. They don't have torpedos btw. It's not WW2 anymore. The only possible way for these to threaten a US ship is with missiles that are easily defeated by CWIS.

A-10, a burst of 30mm will shred a fast attack boat.

Aren't there also, like, ship-based attack helicopters that could handle this role as well? (I don't know. GPT told me that was an available option.)

Odd-Seaworthiness826 Apr 14, 2026
Not that im aware of. Helis fly low enough to be in range of the boats guns and lack the armor of an a-10. Perhaps as support or cleanup.

Majestic-Attitude615 Apr 14, 2026 -1
it's a good idea - but you would have to keep a lot of assets in the air all the time for that much coastline - and I don't know how long we would be willing to sustain that much activity - they would probably wait for things to die down and take some pot shots - start the activity up again - and - how long could that go on for - I wonder how many drones and tiny boats they have hidden all over the place
-1
Odd-Seaworthiness826 Apr 14, 2026 +3
A10s have a long time on station and they dont need to fly until movements is detected.

Boyhowdy107 Apr 14, 2026 +19
Fast attack boats against the US Navy would be a suicide mission. There is always a chance when it comes to guerilla warfare, but still. However, Trump is missing the point. The fast attack boats aren't about threatening the navy, they're about threatening commercial trade. I would assume we all have played a video game enough to know e***** missions suck. Shit that wouldn't threaten you head-to-head can still cause a mission failure by hitting the stuff you are trying to protect, or force you into an disadvantageous spot you wouldn't normally position yourself in to try and protect something else. So Trump's threat is basically chest beating about a tactic the IRGC probably isn't considering and a scenario that is not the one crucial to what the US considers it's (recently established) objective in the war.

Almost certainly, as fast attack craft have practically no weapons that can threaten a modern destroyer.

Have you seen what Ukranian sea drones did to the Russian Navy? Do you think Iran has the capability to build sea drones?
1
Colbert2020 Apr 14, 2026 +4
Unlike other Listnookors, I do not underestimate drones. I will say that the US navy is far more competent and would not have had the same losses experienced by Russia. It is all about detection and screening. Ukraine is absolutely the expert when it comes to this kind of thing. But Iran is not. They do possess sea drones, but they are much slower and cruder than Ukraine's. At least right now. Necessity is the mother of invention and Iran is a large country. They might be able to manufacture c**** naval drones and scale their production in the coming months. I'm not sure they will be able to if they cannot source the electronics needed.

Colbert2020 Apr 14, 2026
You really need to read more than headlines. The situation before the US "blockaded" the strait is that Iran was giving "permission" for ships to pass through if they paid a toll. These ships assumed they could pass unmolested. Vessels docking at Iranian ports to buy their oil were also permitted to pass. Iran was ending benefiting from the high oil export prices and the toll. So, the US has put a stop to this. While the war is going on, the US is not allowing any vessel to dock with Iran and also isn't allowing ships to pass if they paid the "toll."

timkyoung Apr 14, 2026 +1
Sending in a naval group who's mission is to prevent any traffic from passing through the strait is a very different task than assuring the safe passage of all civilian ships through the strait.

You mean if they break the laws of physics with teleporting motorcycles and multi ton missiles on top of rowboats? I'm gonna put my money on the USN. Riper was a shit who wanted a soundbite for his consulting work, not a serious adversary. He gamed the engine of his simulation to teleport his ships into a CSG and then keep their defenses off. He then threw a hissy fit after being told he can't win a chess game by throwing his pieces at the opponent and pissing on the board.

They literally had to remake the war games in 2002 because the navy lost. The most expensive games to date, lost 19 ships in less than 10 minutes from a combination of speed boats, missiles, and airplanes without radio communications. Now the boats are faster and they have more drones than aircraft.
-1
RiPPeR69420 Apr 14, 2026 -6
Some capability is an understatement. The fast attack boats are similar in or surpass the capability of the Ukrainian drones that have fucked up the Russian navy. They represent the majority of the prewar combat power of the Iranian Navy.

These "fast attack ships" would not really constitute a navy by any modern definition. They are literally more akin to small civilian motor boats that can carry a couple dudes with machine guns. Maybe rigged with explosives for a suicide mission.

Even if it were (it's not), that's not the reason they say this. The reason they say this is so that they have an excuse to blow up anything and anyone they want and then claim it was an honest mistake because they thought it was an Iranian fast attack ship. Pretty much straight from the IDF playbook.

Pretty sure missiles aren't the first line of defense against fast attack boats. Guns on the ships, helicopters with guns and A-10s with guns would likely be the first choice before missiles. Because, like you said, missiles are expensive. But bullets are relatively c**** in comparison.

ArtisticAd7795 Apr 14, 2026 +4
The US is currently using the blockade as a "Landlord's Leverage" play. By throttling the Strait, they are attempting to force a global dependency on high-priced US energy exports (like LNG) while simultaneously trying to squeeze Iran into a total nuclear surrender. The "failed negotiations" in Islamabad provided the perfect pretext to shut the door, but the real target is the world economy forcing allies into 20-year "vassalage" contracts under the guise of "maritime safety." It’s less about a war with Iran and more about an economic siege to secure US energy dominance for the next two decades

I was under the impression that trying to sink each other is the kind of things navies are supposed to do during a war. It would be kind of weird if they got together and shared a pleasant tea.

They are likely to be somewhat effective in the strait because it’s so tight.  But the US navy isn’t dumb enough to send vulnerable ships through the strait to get ambushed.  These fast attack boats cannot clear the F-35s patrolling the strait.

Say what you want but no one here would take any amount of money to be in the Iranian navy right now.

What Iranian navy? Trump has told us on several occasions that they've been completely destroyed.

I thought all their boats were sunk. Completely wiped out. Sir! But Sir, how can they have boats and no boats at the same time? The lord works in mysterious ways.

The same way the Strait can be open and closed at the same time.

Don’t these guys make drones? Think they can figure out how to make one for the water.

Needed for what? Having clear operational goals makes tactical decision-making a lot easier.
