How the hell is Iran conducting VBSS in the strait of Hormuz? without getting absolutely smoked by A-10s or something? What exactly is the USAF doing?

But I thought their navy was 100% sunk?

Treaties and alliances work great...until they don't. That's why nations need to look to their own defence first.

The NATO charter is built on that premise.

"Article 3
In order more effectively to achieve the objectives of this Treaty, the Parties, separately and jointly, by means of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid, will maintain and develop their individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack."

The North Atlantic Treaty.

Separately and individually as well as jointly and collectively

Fast boats, HMGs and RPGs. You might as well hold the Brits responsible for IRA actions. Or the Italians for the Comorra.

How long did partisan activity continue in Europe sfter VE Day?

The navy is sunk but the IRGC is a terrorist mob of ideologues and chancers.

Expect to be hearing about the Basij, the IRGC, the anti-treaty IRGC, the Official IRGC, the Provisional IRGC, the Continuity IRGC and the Real IRGC. Plus half a dozen more with no English translations of their Farsi and Urdu names because that would be selling out.

The Iranian Government will need its own paramilitary Gendarmerie to contain the IRGC and meet the terms of any external treaty.

Or they could just declare them pirates and let the international community deal with them.

1) How long did partisan activity continue in Europe sfter VE Day?

2) The navy is sunk but the IRGC is a terrorist mob of ideologues and chancers.

1) In US/CAN/UK controlled Europe, it pretty much ended within a week of VE Day. In parts of the SU controlled Europe, various non-German/Nazi elements continued well into the 1950s (I'm looking at you Stepan Bandura followers, you 'Armia Krajowa' in Poland and you 'Forest Brothers' in Estonia/Lithuania).

2) Its like saying the Wehrmacht is defeated by the SS fight on. Both entities fight for the same country.
