Tehran (IP) - The Commander of Iran's Navy says the Israeli regime's presence in the region is a mirage.

Iran PressIran news: In a televised interview on Saturday, Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi highlighted the high-level security of the Iranian sea borders and the accurate observation of any intrusive movement there.

Admiral Khanzadi pointed to piracies carried out at the Gulf of Aden in the Indian Ocean and noted that such movements caused more vigilance of the regional countries. 

"Iran's Navy has a significant presence in the east and north of the Indian Ocean; the Iranian Navy is considered also as a naval power in the North Indian Ocean," he added. 

The commander referred to the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) held recently in Chabahar and Iran's efforts to establish a center for directing the meeting's security efforts and noted: "The center is being established for the first time in Chabahar Free Zone. The main effort of the center is to collect clean data and get intelligence over the northern Indian Ocean region.

"The information should be shared between the countries, and any activity that interferes with maritime security must be stopped. The center can also conduct naval operations," the Iranian Military commander reassured.
