Iranian vessels refer to ships and boats that are registered under the flag of Iran. These vessels are used for various purposes, including commercial shipping, fishing, and military operations. The Iranian navy operates a range of vessels, from small patrol boats to larger warships, to protect its maritime interests in the Persian Gulf and beyond. In recent years, Iranian vessels have been involved in several high-profile incidents, including confrontations with naval forces from other countries. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also utilizes these vessels for surveillance and to assert Iran's presence in strategic waterways, highlighting the importance of maritime security in the region.
