'Global tour by 86th flotilla a turning point for Iranian military'

Bandar Abbas, IRNA – Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri has said that an unprecedented and historic circumnavigation mission carried out by the Iranian Navy was a turning point in the history of the country's armed forces.

Addressing a welcoming ceremony held on Sunday for the 86th Flotilla of the Iranian Navy, which sailed 65,000 kilometers around the world, Bagheri said that even developed countries do not have the capacity and courage to carry out such missions.

We do not lack anything to become a great maritime power, he said, adding that If the government and officials in Iran pay more attention to the needs of the military, the country can expand its maritime power even more. 

Bagheri said that despite sanctions and outside pressures, the Iranian army made all-out efforts to complete the circumnavigation mission using its Dena and Makran warships.
