Iran’s state-run media has said that an Iranian naval fleet may deploy to the Atlantic Ocean in the “near future.” In a report focusing on a new deployment in the Gulf of Aden, Iran’s English-language Press TV said in passing that Iran’s Navy “also plans to dispatch its 28th fleet to the Atlantic, Pacific or South Indian oceans in the near future.” Back in 2011, the head of Iran’s Navy raised the possibility that Iran would deploy warships close to America’s Atlantic coast.

In other Iranian Navy news, Lieutenant Commander Rear Admiral Gholam Reza Khadem Biqam said it has been looking into setting up permanent bases in Antarctica.

“Deployment in Antarctic waters is on [the] Islamic Republic of Iran’s agenda, and in the first phase this presence may take place within the framework of cooperation with the countries which have been there, and in the next stage in an independent manner.”
