TEHRAN, Jan. 06 (MNA) – In a ceremony in Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy received a new batch of military equipment including homegrown Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis warship.

The Abu Mahdi Muhandis has been named after the former deputy head of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units who was assassinated along with top Iranian anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in a US drone strike ordered by former President Donald Trump at Baghdad airport in early January 2020.
