What do you think the rough tonnage of Iran's "Navy" is now?

Enough to seize tankers and effectively enforce Iran's closure of the strait, in conjunction with their land-based drones and missiles.

We're in an asymmetrical warfare situation. Their military objective and strategies aren't based on a head-to-head shoot-out with our naval forces, but instead to exploit our strategic limitations by using guerrilla tactics.

They've got enough of a Navy to be an effective choke on tanker and merchant vessel traffic. Since those appear to be their strategic goals right now, it looks like they've got all the Navy they need for this phase of the war....
