2 more Russian sub for Iran soon
TEHRAN. Nov 30: Iran will »oon receive two more Russian submarines and Is prepared to use "all its means' to defend three strategic Oulf islands. Iran's navy chief Rear Admiral Abbas Mohtaj said Sunday, reports AFP.
It was the first time Iran has disclosed buying three submarines from Russia. Western military sources have previously said It has purchased two vessels with an option on a third.
Mohtaj, quoted in Tehran newspapers, gave no date for the arrival of tow more submarines after the delivery last week of its first vessel, but said it would be "in the near future."
Although Mohtaj said Tehran had no plans to dominate the region, he vowed that Iran would stand firm in its dispute with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on who has sovereignty over Abu Musa, greater Tunb and little Tunb.
He described the Islands at
the entrance to the Gulf, through which much of the world's oil passes, as "an Integral part of Iran which will defend them with all Its means."
His remarks came as the UAE announced it would take its dispute to the United Nations, a move Iran had previously warned against.
Iran militarily occupies the three islands but Jointly administers Abu Musa with the UAE Emirate of Sharjah under the terms of an accord signed in 1971 under British auspices.
Last Monday, Iran showed off Its first submarine In a ceremony at the southern Gulf port of Bandar Abbas, brushing aside western charges that the Islamic republic was sparking a regional arms race.
Officials took delivery of the submarine a Russian kilo-class vessel it baptized Tareq-9O1. valued at an estimated 200-250 million dollar.
The purchase of the vessel.
one of the largest conventionally powered submarines built by the former Soviet Union, has triggered criticism from Arab states and the west and accusations that Iran was seeking military superiority.
In ceremonies marking the arrival at Bandar Abbas. Mohtaj stressed the submarine's "defensive" mission and said the navy would "continue to bolster Its surface and underwater potential."
Iran reserves the right to rearm after the 1980-1988 war against Iraq, the admiral said.
The United States deployed Its nuclear-powered submarine Topeka In the Gulf ahead of the Tareq-9OTs delivery. Both Washington and Moscow also closely monitored the submarine's movements on Its voyage to Iran.
Mohtaj said Iran's defence budget for 1989-1994 does not exceed eight billion dollars. including a "60 per cent operating budget."
This figure Is below prevl ous official Indications which mentioned two billion dollars a year over five years. Most for eign military experts said, however, that these figures are lower than the reality.
The commander meanwhile accused Arab Gulf states of hav Ing "made 200 billion dollars In deals with the west to purchase weapons."
Japan's deputy foreign minister Kunuhtko Salto, on a three-day visit to Tehran, raised the concern of the international community over Iran's armaments drive. Informed sources said Sunday

The Foreign Ministry, while not confirming that the Issue of arms had been raised during the visit, played down Iran's purchases and stressed they were strictly for defence.
