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.
