The United States is tracking warlike announcements by Iran\u2019s regime that it deployed two military ships to Brazil that are also headed for the Panama Canal<\/a>, where Tehran declared it will establish a military presence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0A U.S. State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday, “We are aware of these claims by Iran\u2019s navy. We continue to monitor Iran\u2019s attempts to have a military presence in the Western Hemisphere.”<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime-controlled news outlet Tehran Times reported Saturday that “Iran\u2019s 86th flotilla warships is now sailing along the western shores of Latin America<\/a>, the Navy second-in-command said.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital learned on Tuesday from a Western security source that Iranian warships have not yet docked in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital in a statement that “Iran\u2019s growing presence in the Western Hemisphere should come as no surprise as the Biden Administration has a history of appeasement and engaging with authoritarian regimes. Tehran\u2019s ability to expand its military presence in our hemisphere should be a warning sign, especially as it seeks to support the left-wing Marxist regimes that will undermine peace and stability throughout the region.”<\/p>\n

Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital, “Iran has been aggressively strengthening its ties to the Western Hemisphere through like-minded socialist regimes in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba. They are also looking for opportunities elsewhere, and it\u2019s no coincidence that Iranian ships are docking in Brazil just a month after a socialist retook power in the country.”<\/p>\n

She added, “Instead of supporting the Iran-friendly socialist and left-wing regimes in Latin America, the Biden administration should be strengthening political forces committed to keeping our hemisphere free of antisemitic terror.”<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s regime<\/a> has been classified by successive administration’s as the world\u2019s worst state-sponsor of international terrorism.<\/p>\n

In early January, the commander of the Islamic Republic\u2019s navy, Rear Adm. Shahram Irani, told the Iranian regime-controlled Fars News, “We have been present in all the strategic straits of the world, and we have not been present in only two straits \u2014 in one of which we will be present this year, and we are planning to be present in the Panama Canal.”<\/p>\n

The clerical regime\u2019s military interference in the vital Panama Canal shipping transport passage could damage U.S. trade and rattle the global economic market. A staggering 16 percent of the world\u2019s shipping fleet is registered in Panama, according to deadweight tonnage.<\/p>\n

The Tehran Times reported that Iranian Rear Adm. Hamzeh Ali Kaviani told the U.S.-sanctioned Iran news outlet Press TV that the flotilla of warships will dock in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil<\/a>. Kaviani added that “Iran\u2019s military might is increasing day to day despite all the pressures against the Islamic Republic over the past 43 years.”<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime paper added that Kaviani said the navy\u2019s 86th flotilla includes the Dena and Makran and that Dena is a Mowj-class warship that has been part of Iran\u2019s navy since June 2021: “The military vessel is reportedly equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles, torpedoes and naval cannons,” wrote the news outlet. “Makran is a forward base ship weighing 121,000 tons. The warship can carry five helicopters and is employed for providing logistical support for the combat warships.”<\/p>\n

The same Western security source told Fox News Digital that Iran doesn’t have a growing military presence in Central America. However, the same source said noted concern about Iran\u2019s desire to project power into the Americas and that governments around the region need to be engaged regarding Iran\u2019s destabilizing international role.<\/p>\n

Mojtaba Babaei, a spokesperson for the Iran mission at the United Nations<\/a>,\u00a0told Fox News Digital that the “Iranian navy presence in international waters is in accordance with international laws and to gain knowledge, experience and increase capabilities, not against any country.”<\/p>\n

The Consul General of Panama in New York told Fox News Digital that the Fox News query was sent to the Panamanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a response. The Consul General of Panama sent Fox News Digital a link to a statement from Panama Foreign Minister Janaina Tewaney. <\/p>\n

“It is not true that we support terrorism,” Tewaney said in response to former Florida Republican Gov. Jeb Bush’s opinion article in the Washington Post in January.<\/p>\n

Bush, who is an advisory board member of United Against Nuclear Iran, wrote that Panama “has been instrumental in the [Iranian] regime\u2019s continued survival” and that Panama is “strengthening Iran by helping it to circumvent sanctions.” Bush also said Panama aids Iran\u2019s in oil smuggling.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital sent numerous press queries to the Brazilian government regarding Iran’s plans to dock warships in their ports, but as of press time no response was given.<\/p>\n

The new Brazilian president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva<\/a>, met with an Iranian delegation led by the country’s vice president during his inauguration ceremony last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
