Tactical Analysis Summary:
Iran's most important lesson in this war was the difference between "controlling the Strait of Hormuz" and countering America's "naval blockade." In Hormuz, geography and asymmetric naval warfare gave Iran an advantage, but the withdrawal of U.S. aircraft carriers from Iran's coasts and reliance on multi-layered missile defense made targeting them more difficult for Iran.
In any case, in every past war scenario against the US Army, the destruction of a portion of Iran's overall conventional military capabilities, especially the Navy's warships, was predictable, and from the outset, planning should have been done for the continuity of operations, redundancy, and rapid replacement of these capabilities in an asymmetric war.
For effective countermeasures against a naval blockade, Iran requires, in addition to suitable-range anti-ship missiles, a complete targeting chain (Kill Chain) that includes detection, identification, positioning and continuous tracking, secure data transfer and command-and-control (C2), weapon assignment, engagement, guidance/path correction, and battle damage assessment.

Currently, Iran's realistic goal should be to increase the cost and complexity of sustaining the maritime blockade for the United States. If the United States is forced to allocate more resources to missile defense, air patrols, ISR, escort, and support, the cost of the blockade
