IRGC naval flotilla accomplishes 39-day mission in high seas
The commander of the IRGC’s Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri welcomed the flotilla which has been named after the Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani – Iran’s top anti-terror commander who was assassinated by the United States in Iraq in 2020.
Tangsiri hailed the country’s naval forces, especially the IRGC’s Navy, saying that this is the first time that the IRGC Navy has managed to cross the equator and enter the southern hemisphere.
He said that the country’s naval forces using their advanced capabilities have become a nightmare for the enemies.
Earlier this month, the Iranian Navy also said it will deploy a team of researchers to the Antarctic.
Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani unveiled plans for the Iranian Navy to dispatch a scientific and research delegation to the Antarctic with 100 percent preparedness to conduct scientific research.
