Iranian Navy's VADM Hossein Azad said on Dec 19 that Russian warship Marshall Shaposhnikov had moored at Bandar Abbas with the view to strengthen Russo-Iranian military relations.
Recall that Russian Navy's Caspian Flotilla (CF) Commander Sergei Alyokminsky declared in Nov 2012 that CF ships were to pay formal visit to Iran in 2013 after a six-year break.
For the first time, Soviet naval ships visited Iran in 1972 and the last time – in 2007.
