Iran sends submarines to Gulf of Aden, Red Sea - People's Daily Online June 08, 2011
Iran's Navy submarines have been deployed in Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea to conduct maritime surveillance operations and also identify warships of other countries, the local English language satellite Press TV reported Tuesday.
The military submarines entered the Red Sea waters on Tuesday and are sailing alongside the warships of Iran's Navy 14th fleet, said the report.
The fleet entered the Gulf of Aden region in May and on Tuesday entered the Red Sea in the continuation of its mission, said the report.
The deployment of Iranian military submarines in the Red Sea is the first such operation by Iran's Navy in distant waters.
Iran has deployed warships further afield, as far as the Red Sea, to combat Somali pirates, according to the report.
