MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st April, 2022) No country has dared to approach the territorial waters of Iran due to the reputation and active presence of the country's army, working to prevent security threats, commander of the Iranian navy, Rear Adm. Shahram Irani said on Thursday.

"Our interests and resources in the sea are very vast, and wherever we feel threatened, our fleet is present. Due to the authority and presence of the Iranian navy in the seas and oceans and continuous monitoring, no country has dared approach the country's territorial waters," Irani was quoted as saying by the Iranian news agency Mehr.
