Iran Deploys Missiles Covering the Strait of Hormuz
(Forbes) H.I. Sutton - Evidence suggests that Iran has deployed an array of anti-ship missiles and large rockets on the eastern end of Qeshm Island overlooking the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil route patrolled by the U.S. Navy and its allies. Multiple amateur videos and photos of the weapons began surfacing on social media on April 4. Weapons systems include Noor anti-ship missiles, and Fajr-3 and Fajir-5 rockets. The Fajr-5 can hit targets 45 miles away across the whole Strait. The anti-ship missiles are equivalent to the U.S. Navy's Harpoon.
