"These new additions encompass various domains, including surface, aerial, manned, unmanned, and missile systems, of which the enemies are completely unaware of their capabilities," Irani stated.
The navy chief emphasized that the equipment incorporates a new generation of technologies and deterrent weapons.
He added that the missiles to be unveiled boast "very new ranges."
Irani further revealed that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with operational ranges exceeding 2,000 kilometers and underwater vehicles are among the modern domestically-produced military equipment.
The Iranian Navy is awaiting final preparations before unveiling the new equipment, he said, noting that the hardware will join naval units and enter service in the coming weeks.
In recent years, Iran’s Navy has achieved self-sufficiency in manufacturing both surface and sub-surface vessels.
It has also expanded its presence in international waters to secure maritime routes and ensure the safety of merchant vessels and tankers.
The navy has conducted joint military drills with Russia, China, and Pakistan to enhance combat readiness.
These exercises have also aimed to counter piracy and maritime terrorism, exchange expertise in naval rescue and relief operations, and improve the security and stability of global maritime trade.
