Iran Deploys Explosive 'Suicide Skiffs' as Iran Threatens to Close Strait of Hormuz

Iran is deploying explosive-laden drone boats disguised as wooden fishing vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a defense expert has warned, signaling a new phase of hybrid maritime warfare. The use of 'suicide skiffs' could pose a significant threat to shipping lanes and global energy supplies. The deployment marks a shift in Iran's tactics, which previously focused on hijacking oil tankers. The move is likely intended to deter foreign naval forces from interfering with Iranian interests in the region.
