IRIS Tabarzin (P232)
IRIS ''Tabarzin'' ( fa, تبرزین, lit=Battleaxe) is a serving in the Southern Fleet of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy. History Hijack ''Tabarzin'' was hijacked on her maiden voyage from Cherbourg to Iran, when on 13 August 1981, approximately 15 commandos under guise of tourists aboard the rented tugboat ''Salazon'' raided the ship on territorial waters of Spain. The group Azadegan Organization claimed responsibility for the takeover, stating that they have seized the ship "without a shot" and will use it as a "fighting unit" against the Iranian government. Following the event, the Iranian foreign ministry started diplomatic efforts to return the ship and released a statement, accusing the United States government of being responsible for the attack: On 18 August 1981, she harbored at port of Casablanca, Morocco for a refuel and garnering food and water, after they "forced harbor authorities", according to The Christian Science Monitor report. The next day, the hijac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The term ''tabar'' is used for axes originating from the Ottoman Empire, Persia, India and surrounding countries and cultures.

A ship is a large watercraft that travels the world's oceans and other sufficiently deep waterways, carrying cargo or passengers, or in support of specialized missions, such as defense, research, and fishing. Ships are generally distinguished from boats, based on size, shape, load capacity, and purpose. Ships have supported exploration, trade, warfare, migration, colonization, and science. After the 15th century, new crops that had come from and to the Americas via the European seafarers significantly contributed to world population growth. Ship transport is responsible for the largest portion of world commerce. The word ''ship'' has meant, depending on the era and the context, either just a large vessel or specifically a ship-rigged sailing ship with three or more masts, each of which is square-rigged.

Missile Boats Of The Islamic Republic Of Iran Navy
In military terminology, a missile is a guided airborne ranged weapon capable of self-propelled flight usually by a jet engine or rocket motor. Missiles are thus also called guided missiles or guided rockets (when a previously unguided rocket is made guided). Missiles have five system components: targeting, guidance system, flight system, engine and warhead. Missiles come in types adapted for different purposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missiles (ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, anti-submarine, anti-tank, etc.), surface-to-air missiles (and anti-ballistic), air-to-air missiles, and anti-satellite weapons. Airborne explosive devices without propulsion are referred to as shells if fired by an artillery piece and bombs if dropped by an aircraft. Unguided jet- or rocket-propelled weapons are usually described as rocket artillery. Historically, the word ''missile'' referred to any projectile that is thrown, shot or propelled towards a target; this usage is still r ...

List Of Military Equipment Manufactured In Iran
In recent years, the Iranian government states that it has self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems. Tehran established an arms development program during the Iran–Iraq War to counter the weapons embargo imposed on it by the US and its Western allies. Since 1993, Iran has manufactured its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles, radars, boats, submarines, unmanned aerial vehicles, and fighter planes. History From 1925 to the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Iran used to be equipped with the very latest Western hardware. Cases exist where Iran was supplied with equipment even before it was made standard in the countries that developed it (for example the US F-14 Tomcat, or the British Chieftain Tank). Primary suppliers included the United States, Britain, France, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), Italy, Israel, and the Soviet Union. The Iran–Iraq War, and post revolutionary sanctions at the time had a dramatic effect on Iran's in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Velayat 97
A velayat (also spelled vilayat; fa, ولایت) was a type of administrative division within Safavid Iran, which functioned as a semi-autonomous province. The velayats were situated in the frontier of the country, mainly in its mountainous areas. In order of ranking, the five velayats were: Arabestan, Lorestan, Georgia, Kurdistan, and Bakhtiyari lands. A velayat was governed by a ''vali'' ("viceroy", "governor"), who was nearly an independent governor. The ''valis'' generally belonged to prominent local families, and were officially chosen by the shah as a compromise of regional autonomy. Nevertheless, they ruled in a hereditary manner. In rare occasions a ''vali'' was appointed to a velayat he had no connection to. This could possibly cause issues, such as in the 1680s Kurdistan, where a non-Kurdish ''vali'' chosen by Shah Soleyman () was chased out by the locals. In order to keep the chieftains under good behaviour, one of their family members (often a son) was kept a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
