TEHRAN (BNO NEWS) -- Iran will deploy more warships to international waters as long as piracy and "sea terrorism" exists in that region, Admiral Gholamreza Khadem Beigham said.

In a statement released by local media on Tuesday, Beigham said "more flotillas and also Jamaran destroyer will be dispatched to the waters of friendly countries and distant international waters."

"In addition, the Islamic Republic will continue its military presence in the Gulf of Aden while piracy and marine terrorism exists in the area. The Iranian Navy is a strategic force that must have a permanent presence, particularly in the Indian Ocean," he added .

The Iranian regime sent three months ago part of ts ninth fleet to the Gulf of Aden and the waters around the Horn of Africa to patrol the area and protect its merchant ships from Somali-based pirates.
