According to the provided information, Iran has deployed its warship, the Elor, in the Red Sea. This deployment is occurring amidst rising tensions in the region due to conflicts involving Israel, Hamas, and attacks on vessels by forces loyal to Iran.
The Elor, commissioned in 2019, serves as an Iranian Navy support ship with advanced capabilities, including missile systems, and is involved in anti-piracy missions. The timing of this deployment coincides with the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea facing a crackdown for hijacking attempts on ships, particularly those bound for Israel. The Houthi rebels, supported by Iran, have been attacking ships in the Red Sea in solidarity with Hamas and the ongoing conflict with Israel. The situation has led to disruptions in Red Sea shipping lanes, prompting some vessels to take longer routes via Africa. Additionally, the United States has declared a coalition called the Prosperity Guardian in response to these developments, and recent actions include an attack on three Houthi rebel boats, resulting in the death of 10 rebels, as confirmed by the Yemeni side. Iran's deployment of the Elor in this context is seen as a show of strength.
