Evidently Iran has built and commissioned 4 new submarines.

It is pretty hard to get a sense of scale from the picture but they look pretty small.

Smaller maybe better in the gulf. With only two tubes and limited re-loads ASW forces will be pinging away from word go. And the gulf convergence zones aren't like open ocean.

no greater power,I guess they have better back-up from the supply ship instead....

Yes two fish or four mines. Then again they can't go much farther than a few hundred miles or so.

Consider them the equivalent of the old German Type XXIII U Boat.

Iran is a decade or more from a nuke that can fit in a torpedo. Right now they and North Korea are at the "Fat man" and "Little Boy" stage.
