Iranian naval forces departed from the port of Jask on Friday, as a large scale three-day exercise began in the Gulf of Oman, codenamed ‘Velayat 97’.
The newest additions to the Iranian fleet, the recently unveiled Fateh submarine and Sahand destroyer will take part in the drills, which are being held in an area of over two million square kilometers: from the east of the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman and the northern parts of the Indian Ocean, down to the 10-degrees latitude.
