TEHRAN (FNA)- The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy was equipped with 2 new home-made vessels, one of which could be sent to far-distance missions with a need to refueling.

"Martyr Nazeri vessel which has been designed and built at Bushehr's Martyr Mahallati institute, can be dispatched to the Red Sea and the Mediterranean without any need to any refueling," Commander of the IRGC Navy's First Zone Brigadier General Morteza Zareyee said on Monday.

He said that the home-made Nazeri vessel is capable of carrying 100 forces, and helicopters.

Saar was another Iranian vessel which joined the IRGC Navy in Bandar Abbas port in Persian Gulf waters on Wednesday.

Elaborating on Saar's capabilities, General Zareyee said that "the vessel can be used for relief and rescue operations in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman".

Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Brigadier General Hossein Salami underlined last Tuesday that Iran would continue to develop and reinforce its naval strength and power.

"The Islamic Iran's military might is unstoppable," General Salami told reporters.

He reiterated that Iran has on top of its agenda boosting its defense and deterrence capabilities.

"Everyday we witness a new vessel joining the IRGC Navy and we will grow more powerful and improve the quality of our products," General Salami added.

He said that the IRGC Navy has always acted powerfully and it has helped to the strengthening of Iran's defense capabilities.
