Iran deploys 'trigger-ready' stealth submarines in Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions

The Iranian Navy has deployed stealth submarines in the Strait of Hormuz, capable of immediate response. This deployment is a response to what Tehran describes as an ‘illegal naval blockade’ by Western forces and aims to strengthen its maritime denial capabilities. The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most critical oil transit route, and this move underscores Iran’s efforts to deter foreign intervention.
