Iran Warship Enters Increasingly Contested Red Sea Shipping Lanes

[1LoverofGod]

The semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Iran’s frigate Alborz, launched in 1969 on completion by Vickers in the UK, will fly the country’s flag across the key shipping lanes.

In its report, Tasnim did not specify the details of the Alborz’s mission but highlighted what it claimed were the regional implications of Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

“Following rising tensions in the Gaza war, there has been an acceleration in developments in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait,” it said, repeating words of action long pronounced by Tehran in its war with the west.

Moves such as this just add to the sense that things are teetering on the edge. And they are. But our God is in control and we His servants are called not to worry in the midst of what has been prophesied to happen, but to share His Word and demonstrate His love...to everyone we can...in every way we can.

The Red Sea is an area where ships could get too close to each other potentially causing tensions to rise, and mistakes made. At its widest point, the red sea is 220 miles wide, and narrowest point is 21 miles wide.

Yes, its hard to be taken serious as a warship, when it takes 100 Iraq military members to power it with oars.
