TEHRAN – Rear Admiral Habibollah , the deputy army chief for coordination affairs, announced on Saturday that home-made destroyer, Sahand, and Fateh submarine will soon join Iran’s naval fleet.

On the impact of U.S. sanctions on Iran’s maritime industry, Sayyari said the armed forces have been subject to sanctions since February 11, 1979, and maybe even earlier, ILNA reported.

“All those who have imposed sanctions against us should know that we turn sanctions to [domestic] production,” he added.
