The commander-in-chief of the Iranian naval forces, Vice Admiral Shahram Irani, said that the Iranian navy should be present in all the oceans of the planet. To do this, according to Irani, new ships of various classes are being built in the Navy.
Shahram Irani at the ceremony dedicated to the Day of the Sea:
According to the admiral, among other things, large ships will be built, which will become real floating naval bases.
The commander-in-chief of the Iranian Navy also said that Iran is preparing for a large-scale naval mission. He did not specify what exactly this mission will be, but added that it will be implemented by the end of this year.
Irani stressed that Tehran does not want war, but if Iran's opponents are doing everything to bring it closer, then the Iranian Navy cannot but react to it.
It was noted that, among other things, Iran is going to develop an unmanned fleet, which will include promising marine drones, including underwater vehicles.
Experts, commenting on the statement about the "mission of the Iranian Navy, which will be carried out in 2022," express various assumptions, including the assumption that Iranian ships may head towards one of the US naval bases "to demonstrate the flag," and we may be talking about a base located not in the Middle East region. However, so far all these are nothing more than versions.
