Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Rear Admiral Irani stated that the deployment of the Deylaman destroyer will provide security for shipping in the Caspian Sea.

He explained that since all navy training centers are located in the north of Iran, a vessel should have been present in the Caspian Sea to improve the navy students’ skills.

The commander added that Deylaman is the latest model of the Jamaran class, with updated equipment.

According to Admiral Irani, Deylaman is a powerful vessel that can act very well in the fields of “detection, interception, and rescue.”

Admiral Irani also announced that two military drills will take place in the the Indian Ocean; one includes a rescue exercise with Oman, to which other countries are invited, and the other would involve a sustainable security exercise with more countries in the northern parts of the Indian Ocean.

Speaking on the occasion of November 28- the National Day of Navy in the Iranian calendar-, the commander highlighted that with the efforts of Iran’s navy, including escorting more than 10,000 commercial ships and oil tankers, Iran never faced the stoppage of oil exports and import of goods during the imposed war of the 1980s.
