Iran flotilla, consisting of Moudge class IRIS Makran Frigate (75), was also deployed in the task group. Platforms left the harbour in early autumn. After the visit, ships will pass Panama Canal and then a cruise in the Pacific Ocean. Rear Admiral Shahram Irani announced plans to dispatch sail to Panama Canal are currently ongoing.
Iranian ships are planning to circumnavigate the world. These kinds of tasks are mainly deployed to increase bilateral relations with far region countries and show force purposes. During sails, fleets test their long-range, high-endurance capabilities as well as logistical infrastructure.
