This year, it announced that it would place warships in Panama Canal.<\/p>\n<p>That announcement came on Wednesday from the commander of Iran\u2019s Navy, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we have a great opportunity in the sea area for the development of the country, and we can turn this gift from an economic capacity into a civilizational capacity by using the maritime capacity properly,\u201d Irani said that, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/480749\/Iran-planning-to-extend-area-of-operation-to-Panama-Canal-Navy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tehran Times<\/a>. \u201cToday, the use of the sea is a geopolitical advantage for us, and those who do not have this capacity are suffering from geopolitical suffocation. \u2026 So far, we have been present in all the strategic straits of the world and we have not been present in only two straits, in one of which we will be present this year and we are planning to be present in the Panama Canal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have formed three oceanic commands, including the Indian Ocean Command, the Pacific Ocean Command, and the Atlantic Ocean Command,\u201d He continued. \u201cToday we are present in the Indian and Atlantic oceans and soon we will be present in the Pacific Ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Humire is the executive director at the Center for a Secure Free Society. <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/iran-to-station-warships-in-panama-canal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> that Iran\u2019s goal \u201chas always been to have a military presence in Latin America, so it\u2019s not surprising at all for its navy to announce it\u2019s going to make moves on the Panama Canal. \u2026 This is a tremendous escalation if it is to happen. Many people may discount Iran in terms of its capabilities \u2026 but I would not discount it because they have been building to this for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s government has been making inroads in South America; last June, Iran and Venezuela signed a 20-year strategic cooperation agreement.
