Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said the Iranian navy was constructing its second modern warship destroyer called "Jamaran-2", IRNA reported.

In an exclusive interview with IRNA on Sunday, he said the destroyer will join the Iranian fleet soon.

According to the commander, the destroyer enjoys capabilities in three levels of anti-air, anti-surface and anti-undersurface operations.

The Jamaran-2 is also capable of carrying and offering fueling chances to helicopters.

The Navy commander further noted that Jamaran-1 warship destroyer is present in the "Velayat-90" war games which are underway in Iran's southern waters for a ten-day period.

Iran launced domestically produced Jamaran-1 in early 2010 in Bandar-e-Abbas, Iran.

The Jamaran class combines anti-submarine assets with other systems of weapons capable of dealing with surface and air threats as well.
