During an overseas deployment to the Arabian Gulf, Pakistan Navy ships RASADGAR and AZMAT, along with Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) ship DASHT, visited Port Bandar Abbas, Iran. The flotilla was led by Commander 14th Destroyer Squadron, Commodore Muhammad Umair.

Upon arrival at the port, the Pakistan Navy ships were warmly received by representatives of the Pakistan Embassy and officials from the host navy. The Mission Commander, along with the Commanding Officers, held meetings with the Iranian naval leadership. During these interactions, matters of mutual interest, Navy-to-Navy engagements, and cooperation in maritime security were discussed. The Mission Commander also conveyed well wishes from the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Admiral Naveed Ashraf, to the people of Iran.
Following the port call, Pakistan Navy and PMSA ships conducted a Passage Exercise with an Iranian Navy ship. The exercise at sea aimed to enhance interoperability between the two navies and promote shared learning through coordinated activities.
The visit of the Pakistan Navy flotilla to Iran is expected to further strengthen diplomatic ties and enhance cordial relations between the two nations.
