**Iran's 'Mosquito Fleet' Threatens Global Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz** The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, has become a focal point of escalating tensions between Iran and the international community. A recent report by The New York Times sheds light on Iran's 'Mosquito Fleet,' a collection of small, fast, and agile boats that have been deployed to patrol the strait. These boats, often armed with missiles and explosive charges, pose a significant threat to global shipping, including oil tankers and cargo vessels that rely on the strait for safe passage. As tensions between Iran and the US and its allies continue to escalate, the Strait of Hormuz has become a potential flashpoint, with far-reaching implications for global energy markets and international trade.
