TEHRAN — The naval arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards unveiled an underground base housing dozens of assault boats equipped with missile launchers in footage aired by state television on Saturday.
The broadcaster did not reveal the location of the base, saying only that it served Iran’s strategic “southern waters” — the Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC) said that it, along with dealer partner SJ Legacy Motors Inc., inaugurated their new branch at the SM City San Jose Del Monte on Sept. 27.
