Pars Today - The Commander of the Navy of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, following the martyred victims of the Dena destroyer, emphasized: The enemy should know that we will not forget the list of their crimes against the great Iranian nation.

According to Pars Today, quoting the IRIB News Agency, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, the Commander of the Navy of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a message following the martyrdom and welcoming the bodies of the martyrs of the Dena destroyer, wrote: The brave martyrs of the Dena destroyer made the impossible in Iran's maritime history possible and, with their epic presence in sailing around the world and hoisting the flag of Iran in all corners of the globe, confronting maritime terrorism and participating in maritime security, became a glorious symbol of the Iranian Navy in the open waters.

The message further stated: The malicious enemy could not tolerate the accelerating pace of transformation and progress of the Navy of the Army and its glorious presence in the seas. With deep malice towards the Iranian nation, thousands of kilometers away from the war zone and contrary to all international conventions, rules, and regulations of the seas and the principles of human rights, they targeted Iran's worthy children with their terrorist attack.

The Commander of the Navy of the Iranian Army stated in his message: If the enemy had the courage, they would fight manfully and face-to-face in the battlefield, not like bandits and pirates, attacking from thousands of kilometers away, opening fire on the guests and heralds of the peace maneuver.

Admiral Irani emphasized in his message: The enemy should know that we will not forget the list of their crimes against the great Iranian nation, we will not forgive them, and we will punish them with fatal blows from where they least expect it. All my comrades in the Navy of the Army have pledged to avenge the blood of the martyred leader of the revolution, the martyrs of the Dena destroyer, the commanders, and the dear martyrs of the Ramadan War.
