Covert Shore has a post about a new Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy boat armed with vertical launch anti-aircraft missile, believed to be the first such craft in the world, but I found the photo above and the accompanying caption particularly interesting.
These are far different from the familiar, prototypical IRGC boats armed with a single machine gun and a few unguided rockets.
