The Iranian Navy’s 86th fleet of warships docked at the Port o | South Africa Reports

The Iranian Navy’s 86th fleet of warships docked at the Port of Cape Town in South Africa in line with the Islamic Republic's efforts to expand its naval presence in international waters.

Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) on Monday confirmed the arrival late last week of the two ships, the IRIS Dena and IRIS Markan.

The ships were scheduled to dock until Tuesday for “refuelling and replenishing supplies”, TNPA said.

However, local mainstream media has already suggested that the presence of these ships could lead to diplomatic tension with the West.
