US warships withdrawn from Iran coast amid IRGC missile threat

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

It appears that the US has moved most of its warships away from Iran's coast. The ships had been deployed to support the US naval blockade of Iran. In early september IRGC tested the Qasem Basir anti-ship ballistic missile, which has a range of about 1,200 km. That range covers much of the Gulf of Oman and parts of the Arabian Sea, potentially putting US navy vessels operating across the region within striking range.
