Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said on Thursday that Iran’s naval and defense capabilities are at their strongest level to date, amid rising tensions over the possibility of a military attack against the country.
“Our maritime power and defensive capabilities are stronger than ever,” Irani said. “Today, our enemies see the Islamic Republic’s armed forces and strategic navy as a superpower.”
“The enemy seeks direct confrontation at sea, but with divine support, we will defeat and drown the devil, just as Pharaoh was drowned.”
