Iranian submarines have entered the Red Sea as part of a mission to identify other nations’ military vessels and collect information about the seabed, the state-run Fars news agency reported, citing an unidentified official.
The submarines came from the Gulf of Aden, where they were dispatched in May, according to today’s report by Fars, which didn’t specify the number of vessels involved. A Pentagon spokesman in Washington, Marine Corps Colonel David Lapan, confirmed the deployment without additional details.
