Iranian warship enters Red Sea amid Houthis' ongoing attacks on commercial vessels
[FoxNews] The Alvand class destroyer had been a part of the Iranian navy's 34th fleet
Iran has 34 fleets? Isn’t that a tad excessive?
Iran's Alborz warship has reportedly entered the Red Sea, emerging at a time of heightened tensions in the key shipping route amid ongoing attacks on vessels in response to the Israel-Hamas war.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Monday that the vessel had entered the Red Sea through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, though it was unclear precisely when.

Tasnim did not give details of the Alborz's mission but said Iranian warships had been operating in open waters to secure shipping routes, combat piracy, and carry out other tasks since 2009.

#4 This ship has been a part of the Iran Navy for over 40 years. It is pretty good for scaring small vessels or running weapons to the Houthis and it might have a few missiles on it. But it is a really big target with little capacity to protect itself.
