Tehran, YJC. Iran's Navy commander says the country’s 32nd fleet’s mission is to make the country’s trade safe.
Navy Commander Rear-admiral Habibollah Sayyari on Wednesday
said "Showing off its presence in free waters, the Navy has repelled almost all
of the maritime attacks on Iranian ships.”
"We are soon to go around Africa and make it to the Pacific
Ocean. So we are going to show off Iran's off-shore naval force as a strategic
and internationally influential unit.”
He added "Sending reporters on board Bushehr and Jamaran
warships to cover how ships are escorted and how pirate attacks are repelled
has met with great domestic and international feedback. We are planning to make
use of reporters in future missions as well.”
In answer to questions about future projects he said "To tap
into 3D radars and domestically-manufactured X ray, to make operational the missile
cruiser fire control project, and to incorporate the fully overhauled air
carrier and helicopters are among the projects that will be completed on December
1.”
