00:19Satellite imagery captured tonight shows over 100 Iranian speedboats moving in a single,
00:26coordinated formation through the Strait of Hormuz. That's not a drill. That's not a training
00:33exercise. That is a message, and the whole world just received it. Let's put this in context.
00:40Just days ago, 85 of these vessels were spotted in formation near Keshe Island, stretched across
00:4722 kilometers of open water in a disciplined swarm pattern. That alone set off alarm bells.
00:55Tonight's formation is bigger. These aren't just boats. Iran calls this the Mosquito Fleet,
01:02fast attack craft armed with missiles, rockets, machine guns, and mines. They're small. They're
01:09agile. They're nearly impossible to track in large numbers. And Iran has thousands of them.
01:16Estimates range from 3,000 to 5,000 total, many hidden in coastal caves and island depots ready
01:24to deploy at a moment's notice. The Strait of Hormuz is the single most critical chokepoint for global oil.
01:32About 20 percent of the world's oil supply moves through this narrow passage. If it gets disrupted,
01:39even threatened, energy markets worldwide feel it within hours. Iran knows this. And right now,
01:47Iran is making sure everyone else knows it too. Despite reported U.S. strikes on Iranian coastal
01:54missile sites, drone launchers, and radar installations, the IRGC Navy has not stood down.
02:01These swarms are still operational, still disciplined, still visible. U.S. destroyers,
02:09the USS Truxton, USS Rafael Peralta, USS Mason are in the area. The tension is real. It's active,
02:19and it's escalating. Here's what Iran's doctrine actually says. You don't need to win a conventional
02:27naval battle if you can make the cost of engaging you too high. A swarm of 100 fast attack boats
02:34can
02:34overwhelm even the most advanced warships' defense systems. Individually, each boat is small.
02:41Together, they're a nightmare scenario for any navy in the world. Iran is sending a very clear signal.
02:49Degrade our air defenses, hit our radar, take out our missile sites, and we still control these waters.
02:56The Mosquito Fleet is alive. The Strait is contested. And tonight, satellite cameras caught all of it.
