„The Navy has been following the plan to deploy a naval unit in the Atlantic Ocean for several years, and now everything seems ready to launch the mission,“ reports Fars, a military-affiliated news agency. The mission is designed for five months, this is the longest mission of the Navy in the past ten years.
Rear Admiral Turadsch Hassani-Moghadam told official news agency Irna on Friday that the operation will start at the beginning of the new Iranian year, which starts at the end of March.
The naval organization includes the new destroyer „Sahand“, which is not located by the radar, and the military supply ship „Kharg“. Both are among the largest Iranian ships and can carry helicopters. According to Fars, the ships will probably dock in a friendly Latin American country like Venezuela.
