Much more troublesome is Iran's access to the whole of the Persian Gulf, their possession of LOTS of mobile anti-shipping missiles that can be fired from the shore, shutting down the oil shipments from the Persian Gulf. janes.com Anti-shipping missiles Iran's sea, air and land-launched anti-shipping missile arsenal is key to its ability to damage large commercial and military vessels in the Gulf, and for this reason it remains almost entirely under IRGC control. Iran's C-801K and C-802 anti-shipping missiles are advanced sea-skimming missiles. The latter is now indigenously produced as the Noor. Iran's defence industries are upgrading the missile's guidance and improving its ability to be fired "over the horizon" and to acquire targets when it reaches a predestined point. As they require relatively few support vehicles and are capable of quickly firing 12 missiles, these provide survivable close-range anti-shipping missile cover along the Iranian coastline and island chain. Iran is also producing an enlarged and modernised Silkworm (the 150 km land-based Raad anti-shipping missile) to give it long-range reach across the Gulf from the Iranian mainland.
