Iranian Northern Naval Fleet Commander Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad said Iranian warships are headed toward U.S. maritime borders to send “a message.”
The move “is part of a longstanding protest against U.S. vessels in the Persian Gulf.”
According to RT.com, Iranian warships started their voyage toward the U.S. on February 8th. This will mark the first time warships from Iran have come close to U.S. maritime borders.
No word on the number of vessels deployed or the length of time they will spend by U.S. maritime borders once they arrive.
“Like the arrogant powers that are present near our maritime borders, we will also have a powerful presence close to the American marine borders,” Sayyari said at the time.
