I daresay it may not be as good as they claim, but underestimating your enemy and not treating them as a credible threat is one of the most basic tactical errors you can make. The US thought Pearl Harbor was too shallow to permit Japanese aircraft to drop air-launched torpedoes into, with the technology the Japs had, and we know what happened there.

Also do not underestimate the levels of education in Iran and their abilities where technological advancements are concerned. It might be a popular notion to regard them as Jihad following camel jockeys that struggle with clapped-out old Russian equipment and derivatives of it, but the truth is the Iranians are very highly educated and very sophisticated people, with a long tradition of innovation, particularly in nautical matters. The Astolabe, for example, is an Arabic invention; you might also want to note that the word, admiral, is an arabic word, meaning commander of the seas.
