The Iranian military announced that it two of its military vessels sailed through the Atlantic Sea for the first time.

The military vessels, Sahand destroyer and Makran intelligence-gathering ship took more than 30 days to travel 6,000 nautical miles to reach the ocean. On Thursday, Adm Habibollah Sayyari, Iran’s deputy army chief, said that the two vessels departed last month from Iran’s southern port of Bandar Abbas. He said that it was the longest voyage and most challenging for the Iranian navy without going into any details.

The navy is improving its seafaring capacity and proving its long-term durability in unfavourable seas and the Atlantic’s unfavourable weather conditions.
