Iran Navy takes delivery of 'Zagros', its first advanced ‘signals-intelligence’ destroyer
The Iranian naval defense industry has handed over the first “signals-intelligence” destroyer of its own indigenous production to the country’s Navy.
The vessel, named Zagros, was delivered to the Navy on Wednesday during a ceremony attended by Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, other senior military and government officials, and scientists.
Irani described Zagros as the “waking eye of the Navy within the depth of the world’s oceans,” praising the achievement as “very valuable” for the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces, and noting that the ship had been outfitted with state-of-the-art electromagnetic, electronic, and cyber technology.
“In light of all the orders of prudence that we are issued through the [relevant] chain-of-command, we try incessantly for the result of our performance to serve as a source of pride for the Islamic Republic’s establishment,” the commander remarked.
He hoped that the Navy’s advances would ensure the contentment of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameni as well as the country’s commanders and those who had been martyred down the path of defending the nation.
Irani finally noted that all of the ship’s equipment was of Iranian production, saying that the Navy had managed to meet the country’s defensive demands on the back of its intelligence command as part of its efforts to ensure stable naval security across various bodies of water, including the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, as well as other waterways.
The Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces, including the Army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), have been continuously enhancing their military hardware and combat readiness in line with Ayatollah Khamenei’s directives.
The forces have vowed to defend the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of the threats that are posed by the Iranian nation’s enemies.
