Iran plans to deploy more warships and destroyers in international waters, Iran’s Army Naval Force Deputy Commander Gholamreza Khadem Bigham has said.

“In the near future more flotillas as well as the Jamaran destroyer will be deployed in the waters of friendly countries and international waters far away,” he said.

“Today, Iran’s Navy is a strategic force, which must have a continuous and widespread presence in the region, particularly in the Indian Ocean.”

Iran will send its warships to provide security for ships travelling in the world’s busiest and most dangerous commercial route and to support the international community’s efforts, according to Press TV.
