Iran Navy fleet heading for Atlantic Ocean for first time

Iran’s Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari says an Iranian naval fleet is planning to head for the Atlantic Ocean for the first time after a port call in South Africa.
The 44th flotilla of the Iranian Navy, consisting of the Alvand destroyer and the Bushehr logistic vessel, embarked on a voyage for the high seas on October 5 to safeguard maritime routes used by the country’s vessels and oil tankers against pirates.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Sayyari said the flotilla first crossed the Gulf of Aden and then docked at Tanzanian port city of Dar es Salaam on October 29 and remained there for three days.
