I can just see it.
They would use “rocks” for ballast.
(Submarines don’t normally have portholes but hang on and I will tell you why the Iranian Navy would have portholes on their submarines).
To get back to the surface they would open the portholes and throw the rocks out.

Iranian submarine? Yep, that’s the way to travel... How do they get the camels to turn the propeller?

Well lets see, we had “locally made” subs during the civil war, so they are about 150 years behind us...

Correction, it's actually a little bigger at around 60 ft.

Yup, it's about the same as the Hunley:
Also, I think the fact that the crew is wearing Scuba gear speaks volumes about their confidence in the design of this new Iranian supervessel :)
To: az_gila
Actually now that I am looking at that picture closer, is that really a submarine? Or is it a torpedo that they have put a windshield and seats in and strapped a couple poor scuba divers into?
To: Boogieman
Don’t knock it. Its a swimmer deliver vehicle. SEAL’s use them, too, but ours are better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_SEAL_Delivery_System
Something - a tanker, a freighter, a sub, carries near a target and the swimmer deliver goes the rest of way. Its pretty big, so it may have a long range, or a big payload. It would be kinda ugly if a frogman delivered a big limpet mine, to, say, a LNG carrier. Oil terminals in the Gulf could also be good targets.

Depth charges like the ones used against German U-boats and Japanese I-boats in the Atlantic and Pacific respectively.
I wonder if the WWII-era sea bombs are sufficiently effective against an Iranian mini sub?

against swimmers you could toss grenades and disable them.
humans cannot withstand the shock wave even from a few ounces of Comp B let alone 600lb of Tritonal or RDX
