US media reports Iran's "Mosquito Fleet" obstructing US military operations

Golden Finance reports that on April 27th, according to CCTV International News, after the first round of negotiations between the US and Iran ended without result, the United States imposed a naval blockade on Iran and continued to issue war threats. However, a recent US media report states that a so-called “mosquito fleet” composed of small high-speed boats is causing difficulties for the US Navy. US President Donald Trump recently stated on social media that he has ordered the US Navy that if any ships are found laying mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz, they can open fire to sink them. Trump said this order applies to small Iranian boats, “no hesitation at all.” The US media claims that the target Trump mentioned is the so-called Iranian “mosquito fleet.” The “mosquito fleet” is a naval force under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, consisting of numerous small high-speed boats, specifically used for asymmetric warfare, harassment, and threats against large ships in narrow waters such as the Strait of Hormuz. The report believes that Trump’s statement reflects that Iran’s asymmetric warfare strategy is hindering US naval operations, with US aircraft and ships forced to track a large number of Iranian speedboats in the Strait of Hormuz.
