Iran supertanker release proves country's international might: Military chief
Tehran (KNA) - Iran's top military commander says the release of the Iranian-operated Adrian Darya 1 supertanker, which was seized by British marines in the Strait of Gibraltar last month, proves the Islamic Republic's power at the international level.
The shooting down of an intruding US spy drone and the seizure of the violating British oil tanker and finally, the release of our country's tanker in Gibraltar, prove the fact that the Islamic Revolution strongly continues on its path to achieve its lofty goals," Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri said on Monday.
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in June shot down an intruding American spy drone over the country's southern coastal province of Hormozgan.
The IRGC said in a statement then that the Global Hawk spy drone was brought down by its Aerospace Force near the Kouh-e Mobarak region - which sits in the central district of Jask County - after violating Iranian airspace.
