Quran Recitation Session Held on Damavand Destroyer’s Deck
Prominent Iranian Quran reciter Mohammad Fallahpour attended the program, which was also attended by Navy commanders and the crew of the vessel.
The Karim Al-e Taha group also performed Tawasheeh (religious songs) pieces during the program, IRNA reported.
Addressing the event, Rear Admiral Afshin Rezaei Haddad, the commander of Iran’s fourth maritime zone, underlined that the teachings of the Holy Quran are the basis of activities in the Islamic Republic of Iran and that is the case for the country’s Armed Forces as well.
He added that attention to religious values and teachings is one of the major factors that make the Iranian armed forces superior.
Iran’s homegrown destroyer Damavand is 100-meter-long destroyer weighing more than 1300 tons.
It officially joined the Navy’s northern fleet in the Caspian Sea in March 2015.
More than 700 industrial, research and academic Iranian centers cooperated in designing and producing the military vessel, which is also a training warship.
