Rokna Political Desk: In recent years, international media outlets and think tanks have published numerous reports highlighting the remarkable transformation of Iran’s naval capabilities, emphasizing that Tehran’s maritime power is no longer confined to traditional and limited tactics.
According to Rokna, Iran, through the development of long-range anti-ship missiles, reconnaissance and combat drones, fast attack craft, as well as implementing an Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) strategy, has established a multi-layered deterrence structure in regional waters.
Western analysts believe that this array of capabilities has turned the presence of extra-regional forces in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, and the Strait of Hormuz into a constant cost-benefit and risk calculation, significantly impacting the balance of power in the region’s maritime domain.
These research centers assert that Iran’s naval power now plays a pivotal role in regional security dynamics and deterrence calculations.
