Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Vessels docked at the port of Tartus in Syria

Two Islamic Republic of Iran warships docked at the Syrian port of Tartus, Tehran’s state television reported on Monday, adding that their crew would train Syrian sailors.

Iran’s navy chief, Admiral Habibollah Sayari, said on Saturday that the ships, a destroyer and supply vessel, had passed through the Suez Canal to show the Islamic republic’s military “might.”
