IRGC chief unveils new strategic underground storage facility in south Iran
In comments during the visit to the facility, the IRGC chief stated that the installation accommodates a considerable number of homegrown Iranian fast attack craft in addition to vessels equipped with torpedo launch systems and mine laying features.
He stated that the subterranean naval facility represents only a small fraction of the IRGC Navy’s capabilities.
Major General Salami added that the IRGC Navy is continuously enhancing its combat readiness and defense capabilities, emphasizing that the vessels and the missile systems fitted in them add to the combat capabilities of numerous domestically developed craft that are currently patrolling the Persian Gulf waters to defend Iran’s sovereignty and maritime borders.
In addition to these vessels and missile launchers, other systems are deployed on the islands and shores of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, and they are ready to carry out various missions, the IRGC chief commander pointed out.
