01:44Not one, not two, but nearly 40 fast attack boats believed to belong to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Navy, moving
01:56together in a coordinated swarm formation.
02:01Fast, armed, and strategically positioned.
02:05These are not routine patrols. This is a message.
02:09The boats were reportedly spotted between Kish Island and the United Arab Emirates, a region that handles nearly one-fifth
02:19of the world's total energy supply.
02:23Any disruption here can send shockwaves across global markets.
02:28And here is where the contradiction sharpens.
02:33U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that Iran's navy has been largely destroyed.
02:39He stated that Iran's naval forces, air power, and military infrastructure have been almost completely wiped out.
02:48But these new images appear to tell a very different story.
02:54Instead of a weakened force, Iran's navy appears alert, active, and strategically deployed.
03:03Experts point to Iran's unconventional mosquito fleet strategy, thousands of small, fast attack boats, supported by drones and coastal missile
03:14systems.
03:16Designed not for traditional warfare, but for disruption and rapid strikes.
03:22At the same time, tensions are rising beyond military presence.
03:27Iran is now preparing legislation that could permanently change access to the Strait of Hormones.
03:34According to reports, the proposal could block Israeli vessels entirely.
03:39Ships from countries considered hostile may be denied entry unless they pay what Iran calls war reparations.
03:48And all other vessels may need prior approval before entering.
03:54If implemented, this would mark a major shift from temporary wartime disruption to long-term control over a global trade
04:05artery.
04:05The United States has already issued a warning, saying any payments made to Iran for safe passage could trigger sanctions,
04:15raising risks for global shipping companies, insurers, and financial institutions.
04:21Meanwhile, the impact is already visible.
04:24Dozens of commercial ships have reportedly turned back.
04:28Shipping routes are being altered, and humanitarian aid deliveries are slowing down, with costs rising sharply.
04:36All this is unfolding under a fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, with talks appearing stalled and both
04:45sides holding firm positions.
04:48Iran insists it is ready for a deal, but Washington remains unconvinced.
04:54What is clear now is that control of the Strait of Hormones is no longer just about geography.
05:00It is becoming a powerful strategic tool, one that could reshape global trade, energy flows, and geopolitical balance, for months
05:11or even years to come.
