For the second time in less than a year, Iran’s top naval commander has said Iranian Navy vessels will soon be plying the Atlantic Ocean, having made great strides in recent years in expanding its presence beyond Iranian waters.

Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari’s comments came on the same day Iran launched its first domestically-built oil tanker. The 21,000-ton vessel, capable of carrying up to 750,000 barrels of oil, was ordered by Venezuela, and Sayyari’s remarks raise the possibility that a warship may escort the tanker on its delivery sailing to Iran’s Latin American ally.

Iran has also established close ties with Cuba, another potential destination for an Iranian Navy Atlantic voyage.

“The navy has carried out successful activities in open seas, and in the near future we will witness the presence of the navy in the Atlantic Ocean,” the Mehr news agency quoted Sayyari as saying.

    I don’t think they will be able to swim to shore like in the straight of hormuz
    Why don’t they just book a trip on a Cruise Ship, like all the other middle Easterners do?

    maybe their navy is a joke , but the relationship with cuba needs to be watched closely.

    why would they escort a tanker? show of force?

  2. This reminds me of the history, where the Spartans “taught” the Thebens how to eventually defeat them, by making them go out and do what they must.
