"Defence has been aware of two Iranian warships operating in the Indo-Pacific for some time." "As part of Australia's broader whole-of-government maritime border protection efforts, Defence routinely monitors maritime traffic in the vicinity of our exclusive economic zone and maritime approaches," the spokesperson said.
During November an Iranian frigate, accompanied by a converted oil tanker, docked in Jakarta before heading to the Pacific, but at no stage did either vessel enter Australia's exclusive economic zone (EEZ).Ī Defence spokesperson confirmed the Iranian vessels had been monitored by Australia while operating in this region.
