Commander of Iran’s Navy: Iran Is Now “Initiating Processes” in the Atlantic Ocean

Admiral Hossein Khanzadi commander of Iran’s Navy said that in the past, Iran would only monitor American presence in the region and prepare a reaction to any possible “mischief”, but now Iran is the one “initiating processes” in the Atlantic Ocean. He made his remarks in an interview that aired on Channel 1 (Iran) on July 10, 2021. Admiral Khanzadi said that the Iranian Navy is currently positioned 5,000 miles from U.S. borders. He said that while it has no plans of reaching the Gulf of Mexico, America is “worried” because the “gates of the Atlantic Ocean” have been opened to Iran. Admiral Khanzadi added that while America had the “audacity” to establish military bases around Iran and to bring the fleet to its borders, claiming it is free to maintain its presence in international waters, 12 miles from Iranian shores, the Iranian Navy is 5,000 miles away from the United States.
