Iranian Navy: Our Forces Will Accompany Our Commercial Vessels

The Iranian Navy has announced that its forces will accompany the country's ships at sea. Naval Commander Shahram Irani stated that the naval forces will escort commercial vessels to the Red Sea amid the ongoing tensions. These statements come as Israel continues to consider its options for responding to the Iranian attacks witnessed on its territory late Saturday into Sunday, which were in retaliation for the Israeli strike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus.
