Iran’s navy is escorting Iranian commercial ships to the Red Sea, according to state media.
Navy commander Shahram Irani said the Jamaran frigate was present in the Gulf of Aden.
Tehran was ready to escort vessels of other countries, he added.
The Red Sea has seen significant disruption to Israel-bound shipping due to attacks from Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis.
On Saturday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards seized a Portuguese-flagged container ship linked to Israel in the Strait of Hormuz.
