Iran’s navy is escorting Iranian commercial ships to the Red Sea, Naval Commander Shahram Irani said on Wednesday as Tehran braces for an Israeli attack. “The navy is carrying out a mission to escort Iranian commercial ships to the Red Sea and our Jamaran frigate is present in the Gulf of Aden in this view,” Mr Irani was quoted as saying by the semi-official Tasnim news agency. Tehran was ready to escort vessels of other countries, he added.
