Zulfiqar air-defense fast boat, Air-defense fast boat, Naval SystemsNaval SystemsZulfiqar air-defense fast boatAir-defense fast boatSide: UnknownBuilt: Iranian defense industry / IRGC Navy workshops / IranThe Zulfiqar air-defense fast boat is an Iranian IRGC Navy small craft configured to carry short-range surface-to-air missiles, showing how Iran has adapted fast-boat hulls beyond gun, rocket, torpedo, and anti-ship missile roles. Covert Shores identifies the displayed craft as a Bladerunner-derived design with anti-air missiles and radar equipment rather than a conventional patrol boat.
Tareq / Boghammar speedboat, Armed speedboat / fast inshore attack craft, Naval SystemsNaval SystemsTareq / Boghammar speedboatArmed speedboat / fast inshore attack craftSide: UnknownBuilt: Iranian defense industry / IRGC Navy workshops / IranThe Tareq or Boghammar speedboat family refers to small armed boats associated with Iran's IRGC Navy fast-boat force, including craft descended from or analogous to commercial Boghammar speedboats. The military versions are typically treated as fast inshore attack craft for patrol, harassment, and swarm tactics rather than as one standardized warship class.
Peykaap / Zolfaghar missile boat, Fast attack craft / missile boat, Naval SystemsNaval SystemsPeykaap / Zolfaghar missile boatFast attack craft / missile boatSide: UnknownBuilt: Iranian defense industry / Marine Industries Organization / IranThe Peykaap and Zolfaghar missile-boat family is a set of small Iranian fast attack craft derived from North Korean IPS-16 concepts and adapted for torpedo or anti-ship missile attack. Public references describe Peykaap variants with lightweight torpedoes or Kowsar/TL-10 and Nasr/C-704-family missiles, making it one of the clearest military small-boat families within the IRGC Navy inventory.
Thondor / Houdong missile boat, Fast attack missile boat, Naval SystemsNaval SystemsThondor / Houdong missile boatFast attack missile boatSide: UnknownBuilt: Hudong Shipyard / Iranian sustainment and modification facilities / China / IranThe Thondor or Houdong missile boat is Iran's Chinese-origin large fast attack missile boat family, distinct from the smaller speedboat-derived craft but often grouped with Iran's missile-armed littoral attack inventory. Public references describe a roughly 38-meter craft with four anti-ship missiles and gun armament for short-range naval strike missions.
Ashura-class speedboat, Fast patrol boat / fast inshore attack craft, Naval SystemsNaval SystemsAshura-class speedboatFast patrol boat / fast inshore attack craftSide: UnknownBuilt: Marine Industries Organization / Iranian defense industry / IranThe Ashura-class speedboat is a small Iranian fast patrol and fast inshore attack craft family used by Iranian naval forces and especially associated with the IRGC Navy's asymmetric small-boat fleet. Public sources describe gun, rocket, troop-carrying, and mine-capable versions, making the family one of the clearer military variants within Iran's broader small attack boat inventory.

The family covers domestically produced speedboats and named classes such as Ashura/Ashoora, Tareq, Zolfaghar/Peykaap, Thondor/Houdong, Boghammar-derived craft, and Bladerunner-derived craft rather than a single standardized design.
