CNN reported the tracking of Iranian regime ships by the United States, which are likely to go to the Atlantic Ocean and Venezuela

The Pentagon and US intelligence agencies are closely monitoring the two Iranian regime ships that Tehran claims are going to Venezuela," CNN wrote about the clerical regime's ship traffic to Venezuela.

At the Pentagon and other agencies, officials said, the passage of ships is not a concern at the moment, but they are under surveillance and the intelligence community is working to assess the Iranian regime's goals. The two countries, both under heavy US sanctions, are allies and trading partners who have helped each other resist US actions.

While it is not yet clear whether the ships are carrying weapons, several US officials say satellite images show one of them carrying a small attack boat that the Iranian regime used to harass US naval vessels in the Persian Gulf. has done. And if Iranian vessels are able to reach the Atlantic, analysts say it is an important step for the country's navy, which has done so in the past and failed.

Officials said the United States has been tracking ships for about two weeks. The vessels have been off the east coast of Africa for the past few days.

While they were initially expected to orbit the southernmost point of the African continent in the southern strip of the continent, around June 9 to June 11, their motion tracking experts say they are not expected to reach it until July.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, who spoke generally about the possibility of carrying any Iranian weapons to the Western Hemisphere, said it was a "provocative move" and a threat to US allies.

"While the Department of Defense does not comment on intelligence matters, we note that the delivery of such weapons is a provocative and threatening act for our partners in the hemisphere. Similarly, we have the right to take action," Kirby told CNN in a statement. We reserve the right to coordinate with our partners to prevent the delivery or transport of such weapons.
