The Iranian Navy is planning to mass produce new long-range submarines and to deploy more warships in the Persian Gulf, Iranian Navy’s deputy commander rear admiral Gholam-Reza Khadem Bigham has said.

“Soon, another fleet of warships will officially start its activity in Jask and another subsurface fleet will be assigned to the Western coastal region of Konarak,” he said.

“One of the navy’s prime missions is to monitor trans-regional fleets because any one of them can be a potential enemy for the country,” he added.

Iran is constructing submarines and other vessels of various classes and capabilities in cooperation with the Defense Industries Organization, according to Press TV.
