The chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says any spot in international waters and high seas is now within the naval sphere of influence of the Islamic Republic.
Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks on Saturday as the IRGC Navy took delivery of sophisticated homegrown missile systems, unmanned aerial vehicles and armament featuring state-of-the-art technologies suitable for electronic warfare.
Salami emphasized that both the IRGC Navy and the Iranian Navy have established their presence beyond coastal waters, extending their sphere of influence to encompass every corner of the oceans.
The general further expounded on how the positioning of enemy forces in close proximity to Iran has served as an opportunity that helped the Iranian armed forces broaden their deterrent capabilities, and devise a comprehensive plan to enhance their military prowess and counter adversaries.
