2021-06-15 |
[AnNahar] Iran's navy took delivery on Monday of two new warships in a ceremony broadcast by state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? , several days after announcing it dispatched a squadron into the Atlantic Ocean. "The defence ministry has achieved a major task today in supplying two ships to the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate -- the destroyer Dena and a minesweeper," Iran's President Hassan Rouhani ...Iran's moderatepresident, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... said in a speech. The delivery of the two ships came after Iran announced on Thursday that it had "for the first time" sent a small squadron of ships into the Atlantic Ocean with the goal of "reinforcing its maritime capabilities". According to a statement by the army chief of staff, the Dena "is an entirely Iranian destroyer" equipped with a "helicopter landing zone" and a "range of defense and attack systems". It has the capacity to "cover long distances" and is equipped to "destroy all aerial threats", along with underwater threats. The minesweeper, named "Shahin", is over 33 metres in length and is capable of "detecting and neutralizing diverse types of naval mines", the statement said. The Iranian navy on June 2 lost one of its biggest ships, the Kharg, which sank in the Gulf of Oman, after it was struck by a fire that raged for hours. The crew was evacuated and the cause remains either unknown or unpublicized. Iranian naval forces described the Kharg as a "support (and) training vessel", but military specialists GlobalSecurity.org categorized it as a helicopter carrier and fuel replenishment vessel.
