Iran strongly present in 'dangerous waterways' infested with threats, terrorist attacks: Navy
Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani has stressed that Iran’s Navy maintains its strong presence in “dangerous” waterways, which are infested with threats and terrorist attacks.
“Despite facing threats, sanctions and plots, the Navy maintains a powerful presence in the waterways where threats or maritime terrorist incidents are common,” Irani said, adding that the powerful presence has amazed world powers.
The Navy chief said such a power was indebted to the unity among the naval forces and their efforts.
“If we are acting today in such a way that has proved to the world that Iran and Iranians cannot be isolated and sanctioned, this has been rooted in the round-the-clock efforts of my dear fellow comrades and the utilization of all the capacities of the establishment and the country.”
Irani stressed that the Navy will continue to double efforts to purge the region of foreign troops.
“We will definitely increase our efforts in maintaining the [country’s] centrality in the field of maritime security so that foreigners leave this … area forever.”
Iran’s Navy has in recent years achieved self-sufficiency in manufacturing surface and sub-surface vessels. It has also increased its presence in international waters to protect naval routes and provide security for merchant vessels and tankers.
The Iranian naval forces have also staged military drills with different countries, including Russia, China and Pakistan, over the past years to promote their combat readiness.
They have also been involved in joint efforts aimed at countering piracy and maritime terrorism, exchanging information in naval rescue and relief operations as well as sharing operational and tactical experience to enhance the security and stability of international maritime trade.
