Iranian attacks at sea deterred by US-led coalition: American commander

on December 7, 2020

Iran’s maritime activity has been “cautious and circumspect” following the establishment of a US-led naval coalition that includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, according to a top American navy commander.

Iran’s malign behavior at sea has been deterred by the International Maritime Security Construct (IMSC) coalition, said Vice Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of the US Naval Forces Central Command, at a conference in Bahrain on Friday.
