Mini as in only for special forces landing on enemy shores mini? Doesn't look very big. There's a person standing next to the poster on the right side of the picture for comparison. Any information on the dimensions? Who's building it, regular IRINN or IRGCN?

The bridge should be displaced to one side, like many of the LCM. If not you will notice that with no flush deck heavy equipment cannot embark and transit from bow to stern. That means that this auxiliary ship won´t be embarked inside well deck of a amphibious LPD/LHD. That suggest IRIN interest to operate light amphibious crafts inside PG at high speed (catamaran). It would be a smaller version of french navy L-CAT. Very interesting because seems not to be based in any vessel.

I remember reading that the The IRGCN was formally given responsibility for protecting Iranian waters and coastlines in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Are you sure that it is to operated by IRIN in the PG?

Its details are in the banner, which is not clear. Because it has the name of a martyr, it belongs to the IRGC
 
Iran Unveils New Domestic Coast Guard Vessels

Iran unveiled and commissioned ten domestic coast guard and guidance vessels during a visit by President Massoud Pezeshkian to the Persian Gulf port city of Bushehr.

On Thursday, February 13, Pezeshkian visited the Shahid Mahallati Shipyards, where he unveiled ten vessels manufactured by the company and oversaw their integration into the Iranian Navy fleet.

During the ceremony, the company announced the start of manufacturing six firefighting vessels

The unveiling ceremony was attended by Ali Darabi, CEO of the Shahid Mahallati Shipbuilding Complex. He said that the company has the capacity to manufacture, repair and overhaul more than 200 large, medium and small vessels per year.

The company, he added, has managed to build, repair and renovate dozens of ships belonging to the Iranian armed forces.

On Thursday, President Pezeshkian also visited Iran Marine Industrial Company, also known as SADRA.

As one of the largest offshore oil and gas project contractors in Iran, SADRA is active in the fields of engineering services and shipbuilding, construction and installation of oil terminals and offshore oil and gas facilities, as well as coastal protection and dock construction.

Unfortunately I cannot read persian (my wife can, but she doesn´t like that much to translate me this things :ROFLMAO:), but if it is true, it is another suggestion that this ship will operate only inside PG and not high seas.
Anyway seems to be not that small, maybe it can embark something like a M60.
