According to a *Wall Street Journal* report, Iran is using low-cost maritime tactics to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. These include explosive-laden drones, mines attached to ships, and small civilian boats used to gather intelligence and identify targets—all in an effort to offset the decline in its conventional capabilities and avoid a direct confrontation with the United States. More than 35 incidents were recorded in October, and at least five ships were attacked in the first days of November. Oil flows through the strait fell to around 7.8 million barrels a day, roughly 45% of prewar levels. Analysts say Tehran is seeking to keep the risks of passage, shipping costs, and oil prices high, despite U.S. escorts for vessels and its declaration that it controls the strait.
