Iran confirms deploying warship to Red Sea as tensions rise



Iranian state media confirmed Tehran sent a warship to the Red Sea as the area rapidly militarises.
The IRIS Alborz, part of the 94th Naval Fleet of the Iranian army, travelled through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait near Yemen to arrive at the Red Sea.
The news comes as state media reported Iranโ€™s security chief, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, held a meeting with top Houthi negotiator Mohammad Abdulsalam.
Houthi attacks on tankers passing through the strait of Bab Al Mandab to the Red Sea are disrupting one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Houthis say they are targeting vessels linked to Israel in a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Al Jazeeraโ€™s Resul Serdar reports from Djibouti.

  1. I don't think the Iranian Warship will do anything or make any impact.
    If they were to engage the Americans. It will most likely be shot down by a anti-ship missile.
    By the looks of it, the Iranian Warship looked underequipped.

  2. I wonder if the number of submarines in the area is in double digits yet?

    Iran has sent out this warship as a sacrificial excuse for a protracted war. If anything really starts to happen, the souls on that ship will be gone, and the leaders still sit in comfort.

  3. Djibouti is the worst mercenary of all Imperialists by giving her ports to all the World Imperialists against Africa. She is the most shameful country (of course it is not country but a puppet of all Imperialists) in the African history. Africans should avoid this mercenary puppet of all Imperialists. She is like a wife to every one – no pride at all. Shame!!!!!!!!!

  4. A 1960s design warship AHAHAHAHHAHA, medieval and ancient just like the cultures and traditions of Islam. A single F35 can destroy that absolute joke of a warship without ever being detected.

  6. I don't understand these Iranians. This one warship is militarily irrelevant yet they claim to secure the Red Sea shipping lanes.

    In case they aren't aware, there is a freaking US Carrier Strike Group, UK Frigates and Destroyers and Allied Forces various warships in the same region.

    Get Russia or China to get the Kuznetsov or Liaoning there, boys or you'd better get your Alborz back up the Persian Gulf.

  8. PUTTING AN IRANIAN WAR SHIP IN THE VICINITY OF U S WARSHIPS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA

  9. Yemen has many allies around the World, Iran is one of those allies.
    United Snakes of America (and her allies) are extremly scared of Iran.
    United Snakes of America has a lot to lose in the Mideast.
    Imagine Aramco will be in fire in the next days.

  10. This will affect the world's economy, if they have to detour because of these terrorist actions then the price of everything will rise affecting oil and consumer goods prices, time to act now to deter these pirates. America doesn't want this to escalate but what other choice do they have?

  11. LOL yes the US Navy fleet is ready to flee because Iran's 70 years old pile of scrap metal has entered the red see. Very funny. looking at that boat, it should have been scrapped thirty years ago…

  12. Iran sent one warship to the Red Sea, what a joke. Go against an American strike group and we will see how it all turns out not to mention the submarines that you cannot see, not to mention that we also own space.
