Bandar Abbas, Iran:The First Training Squadron (1TS) of the Indian Navy, comprising INS Tir, INS Shardul, and ICGS Veera, has arrived at the port city of Bandar Abbas, Iran, as part of a long-range training deployment in the Persian Gulf. This visit marks a significant step in enhancing maritime cooperative engagement and fostering mutual understanding between India and Iran.

Upon arrival, the vessels were escorted into the harbor by the Iranian naval ship Zereh and received a ceremonial welcome on the jetty from dignitaries representing the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) Navy’s First Naval District and the Indian Naval Attaché.
