Iranian state television said the first Iranian-built destroyer was launched today in a ceremony attended by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“The first domestically made destroyer Jamaran was launched this morning and joined Iran’s naval forces in the southern waters of the Persian Gulf,” state television IRIB reported. It did not give the location of the launch.
The report showed footage of the warship and said it was equipped with torpedoes and electronic radar. The ship is 94 meters long and more than 1,500 tons, it said. Much of Iran’s naval equipment dates from before the 1979 Islamic revolution and is U.S.-made.
Tension is high in the long-running international row over Iran’s nuclear program, with Western powers calling for a fourth round of U.N. sanctions against Tehran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment.
The West fears Iran is seeking nuclear weapons. Tehran says it plans only civilian nuclear facilities.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog said in its latest report it feared Iran might be working now to develop a nuclear payload for a missile.
The United States and its western allies say they want a diplomatic solution but have not ruled out military action against the Islamic republic.
The United States said in January it had expanded missile defense systems in and around the Gulf — a waterway crucial for global oil supplies — to counter what it sees as Iran’s growing missile threat.
Iran condemned the move and accused Washington of seeking to stoke “Iran phobia.”

At this time it sounds like Expression Engine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

Way cool, some valid points! I appreciate you making this article available, the rest of the site is also high quality. Have a fun….
Moving home in Germany is very expensive, indeed the few miles from my little village to the barn require me to pay 2000.00 Euros, as much as it would have require me to pay with a UK removal firm to transport my household goods all the way from Wales to southern Germany. Labour costs in Germany make moving house very costly, perhaps one of the reasons why the labour marketplace is less flexible – people would rather stay put once they’ve gone to live in a location.
