An Italian frigate has held manoeuvres with two Iranian warships in the Strait of Hormuz after making a rare Western port call in the Islamic Republic, an Iranian commander said Wednesday.

The joint manoeuvres in the strategic waterway between the Gulf and the Sea of Oman come after a series of incidents between Iranian vessels and US warships in the area in recent months.

The Italian frigate Euro sailed to the strait for the manoeuvres with Iranian ships Alvand and Alborz after making the port call in Bandar Abbas on Saturday, Admiral Hossein Azad told the official IRNA news agency.

Maybe the Italians will do for the Iranians what they did for the Germans during WWII.
