Islamic Iran to deploy submarines in intl. waters on 90-day mission

Iran plans to dispatch submarines to international waters on a 90-day mission, Navy Commander Habibollah Sayyari said on Saturday.
Sayyari said he told the Leader of the Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei during his recent visit to Bandar Abbas, in southern Iran, that the Navy is ready to send submarines to the international waters on a 90-day mission.

He also pointed to the domestically-manufactured Yunis submarine, which has recently accomplished its 67-day mission to the international waters, saying the submarine set a new record.

The Yunis submarine was dispatched to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea in order to gather data on those areas.
