Look at it in Google Earth. It’s probably the most vulnerable target in Iran - it’s right on the coast. An Israeli sub could offload Special ops through a torpedo tube.

Their torpedo tubes are about 21" diameter. I don't think many spec ops troops could fit easily even without their gear. Special forces can exit while submerged but in a slightly more conventional manner (James Bond movies not withstanding).

You’re correct of course: I was being colloquial about the torpedo tube. Call it “submerged deployment”.
