Ghadir-Class: Iran’s Silent Sentinels in the Strait

Global Military Forum

Iran has officially placed its Ghadir-class submarines on high alert within the strategic Strait of Hormuz. These specialized Ghadir-class submarines utilize "bottom-sitting" tactics to remain invisible to enemy sonar while maintaining a "trigger-ready" posture. This deployment of the Ghadir-class submarines reinforces Iran's dominance over the world’s most critical oil chokepoint during heightened regional tensions.  Expert Insight: The Ghadir’s ability to rest silently on the seabed transforms the shallow Strait into a lethal minefield for high-value surface combatants.
