Iran has a large fleet of small speedboats possibly armed with torpodoes but more probably some form of Exocet or Silkworm-like anti-ship missiles. Fired in the scores or hundreds, they will overwhelm most of our anti-missile defenses.
We have a new machinegun/cannon coming online that will have a higher rate of fire and supposedly fire somelike like pellets in a shotgun explosion pattern to hit everything in front of it. Wishing and hoping.l
