“All domestic capacities were used to carry out the great mission of the Dena destroyer, and the flag of the system, the revolution and the Islamic Republic was raised on the world stage,” Irani said in a speech before Friday prayer sermons in Mashhad.
He said Dena’s successful mission was a gift by Iranian youth to the people of the region.
“It is a source of honor for the Islamic Republic that the security and safety of navigation in the depth of international waters and the geopolitical and strategic depth of the system in the sea borders were expanded thousands of kilometers,” he added.
The navy chief further said the successful mission shocked the enemies and conveyed the Iranian people’s message that “sanctions, threats, and conspiracies will never prevent us from moving forward".
Iranian Army’s 86th flotilla comprising Dena, a warship equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles, torpedoes, and naval cannons, and Makran, a major base ship, returned home last month, after completing a voyage around the world which marked the first in the country’s history.
