Iran is
planning to send its 15th fleet, comprised of
a submarine and a warship, to the Gulf of Aden
and the Red Sea, semi-official news agency
Press TV quoted Iranian naval commander
Admiral Habibollah Sayyari as saying on
Tuesday.
The
announcement came after the IDF modified the
operational doctrine of the Navy Command
Center in Eilat which is responsible for
protecting southern Israel from threats
originating in the Red Sea. On Monday, two
large Navy corvettes were seen docked in
Eilat, likely for anti-terror and smuggling
operations in the Red Sea
