In an unusual article about the navy of Iran’s army (separate from the Revolutionary Guards), the Iranian semi-official news agency FARS brags on their achievements in reaching beyond their shallow waters, in a trend established in 2006.
The article says Iran’s aim for the navy expansion is to establish their presence internationally; this is to protect the Iranian oil vessels from piracy near Somalia or wherever, and to maintain “regional and world security”.
