Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani attended a ceremony on Saturday in Bandar Abbas to welcome the flotilla.
Admiral Irani congratulated the Iranian Army on its historic success of sailing around the world.
The 86th flotilla comprises Dena, a warship equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles, torpedoes, and naval cannons, and Makran, a floating military base that can carry five helicopters and is employed for providing logistical support for combat warships.
It set sail from Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas on September 20 last year for a global voyage that took it to the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans.
The mission was aimed at expanding Iran’s naval presence in international waters.
