AhlulBayt News Agency: Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, Imam Khamenei met the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and a group of naval commanders of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy on November 28, 2023.
During the meeting, the Leader of the Islamic Republic spoke about the Iranian Navy’s numerous capacities, especially its capacity to assist with the implementation of sea-based economic policies. He also emphasized the need to discover new capacities in order to boost the country’s authority and to establish joy and hope in Iranian society.
This meeting was held on the occasion of the 7th of Azar (Nov. 28), which marks National Navy Day in the Iranian calendar. The Leader of the Islamic Revolution described the 7th of Azar as a "historic, unforgettable day," adding that "This day should be introduced as the 'Day of the Navy's Sacrifice.'"
Imam Khamenei lauded the Iranian Navy for the progress it has made since the beginning of the Revolution, describing this achievement as both "impressive and unbelievable."
Imam Khamenei stated that in the first few years after the Revolution, the Navy’s presence beyond territorial waters was unimaginable. But now the Navy travels 360 degrees around the world with power and might and returns to the country proudheartedly.
"There was a day where it was not imaginable that the Navy would be able to have presence in the Caspian Sea, but now destroyers are being built on the shores of the Caspian Sea and they are being dispatched there," he added.
Imam Khamenei emphasized that the Navy should make improvements regarding its combat capabilities and preparedness by using its capacities.
"One of the capacities of the Navy which can establish hope and joy among the youth, is to create the groundwork for allowing them to visit the factories and capabilities of this force via the Rahian-e-Pishraft tours," he said.
During the meeting, Commander of the Iranian Navy, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, presented a report on the capabilities and activities of Iran’s Navy.
