IRGC Boasts Of Fully Intact Speedboat Fleet For 'Swarm Attacks' In Hormuz

As renewed attacks between Iran and the US expand into Iraq and Yemen, the Hamshahri daily, which has close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has dedicated its front page to a report on the force's speedboats in the Gulf.

On Wednesday, the daily described the boats as the "winning card in the Persian Gulf" and said they are one of the main elements of Iran's deterrence against an expansion of US attacks. "The fleet has become one of the most complex challenges facing American forces in the Persian Gulf over the past two decades by relying on the 'swarm attack' tactic. It has also served as Iran's strategic tool in the Strait of Hormuz over the past five months," Hamshahri wrote.

According to the report, Iran's naval strategy is based on developing small, high-speed, low-cost boats in large numbers. Rather than competing directly with larger fleets, the strategy aims to increase the enemy's costs and limit its freedom of action.

On the role of the boats in keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, Hamshahri added: "The combination of speedboats, naval mines, cruise and ballistic missiles, and drones has completed the puzzle of Iran's strategic encirclement of the Strait of Hormuz."

Brigadier General Hossein Alaei, the first commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy and a former Iranian defence official, has joined political figures calling for an end to the war with the United States, saying Iran's true victory lies in restoring peace and stability.

Alaei, who served as a senior IRGC commander during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), commented on the conflicts launched against Iran by the United States and Israel since June 2025.

"In war, while it is true that Iran defends itself, stands firm, and strikes back at its enemy, the very existence of war is to the detriment of the Iranian people," he said.

The former IRGC commander also criticized the collapse of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the United States. He described the agreement as a complete victory for Iran and a defeat for Israel. "In this agreement, we gave up virtually nothing," Alaei said.

"The US believes it has stripped, damaged and destroyed Iran's nuclear program. The maximum we have conceded is that we will discuss the nuclear issue in the future, while from the beginning Iran's position was not to possess nuclear weapons."

He also said the agreement had put pressure on Israel to halt its military strikes on Lebanon. "Israel wanted to strike Lebanon every day; through this agreement, we stopped Israel's daily attacks on Lebanon. This is a very big victory," he said.

While hardline factions in Iran have called for an end to all negotiations with the United States and for the war to continue since military clashes resumed on July 7, some figures from the older generation of the IRGC, including Alaei, are advocating an end to the fighting.

Red Cross Declares National Blood Crisis As Type-O Supply Falls Below One-Day Inventory

The American Red Cross declared a national blood crisis Monday, warning that its supply of type O positive blood has fallen below a one-day national inventory and that summer donations are running at their lowest level in four years.

The shortfall has already caused the organization to restrict distributions of type O blood to hospitals, a step that can force providers to prioritize among patients awaiting transfusions. The Surgeon General's office has joined the Red Cross in calling on eligible donors to schedule appointments.

Type O accounts for roughly 60% of Red Cross blood distributions and is used in both routine care and emergency treatment. O positive, the most commonly transfused type, can be safely given to about 80% of patients, while O negative serves as the universal type used when a patient's blood type is unknown.

Blood demand generally rises during the summer months, but collections this year have failed to keep pace. Red Cross officials attributed the gap to extreme heat, poor air quality and widespread foodborne illnesses, each of which can reduce donor turnout or disqualify would-be donors, the organization said.

"The Red Cross takes its responsibility as the nation's largest single provider of blood products incredibly seriously and has worked tirelessly to strengthen the blood supply for our hospital partners," said Chris Hrouda, president of Red Cross Biomedical Services. "Following our first-ever national blood crisis in 2022, we put additional safeguards in place to help prevent a crisis like that from happening again. But this summer, blood donations simply are not keeping pace with hospital demand, and inventories, especially type O blood, remain under significant strain. Every donation has the potential to help save lives, and we urgently need everyone who is eligible to make an appointment to give blood as soon as possible."

An extended shortage could delay elective surgeries, complicate trauma care and slow other treatments that depend on timely access to transfusions.

The declaration is the second national blood crisis in the organization's history. The first, in January 2022, followed a convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, winter storms and staffing shortages. In 2024, the Red Cross warned of an emergency blood shortage but did not escalate the designation to a crisis.

The organization is offering incentives to draw donors. Those who give blood by July 31, 2026, will receive a Fandango Movie Ticket by email valued at up to $15, including fees. Donors who give between August 1st and August 31st will receive a $20 Amazon gift card by email.
