context_page_description: Various series of rigid inflatable boat are operated by naval forces of Iran. Based on a design by Italian Fabio Buzzi, they have been manufactured and modified in Iran.
context_section_description: The cooperation between FB Design and Iranians started in 1998, when frames and blueprints of patrol boat Levriero was purchased by Iran. It is likely that Shahid Joulaee Marine Industries (subordinate to Marine Industries Organization) obtained a license to produce RIB-33SC and FB-55SC models domestically. In 2005, American authorities questioned FB Design about their deals with Iran, effectively putting an end to the cooperation. Iran has reportedly altered some original designs and manufactured similar modifications.
