The IRGC Navy is moving forward vigorously, and one of its leading units, the Naval Airborne, is under development, IRGC Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Hossein Salami said on Monday, addressing a commencement ceremony for the IRGC Navy Airborne pilots.
The commander also stressed that the IRGC’s achievements in the military sphere should be at the level of those of the most advanced world powers.

The scope of the duties of this Corps, and its areas of responsibility, in relation to the duties and areas of responsibility of the other Armed Forces, are to be determined by law with emphasis on brotherly cooperation and harmony among them.”
