Iranian Navy commander announces planned military base in South Pole<\/em>
\nBy Benjamin Weinthal<\/strong><\/p>\n

JERUSALEM \u2014 Iran\u2019s Navy commander announced in a televised broadcast last fall that the regime owns Antarctica and will build a military operation in the South Pole.<\/p>\n

“We have property rights in the South Pole. We have plan to raise our flag there and carry out military and scientific work,” Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said in late September, according to a translation by the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s naval saber-rattling is drawing new attention in response to the Iranian-backed militias that murdered three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last month.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital asked a U.S. State Department spokesperson if the recent American unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar could be used by Iran to set up a base in Antarctica.<\/p>\n

“No. Iran\u2019s funds held in Qatar may not be used for any activities in Antarctica,” the spokesperson said. “Those funds can only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, meaning food, medicine, medical devices and agricultural products.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

White House National Security Advisor John Kirby has avowed not a single dinar of the 6 Billion USD will go to <\/strong>Iran. Instead it will go to administration approved vendors to buy humanitarian and medical assistance for <\/strong>Iran. I am filled with confidence in the vetting process and oversight our current administration will provide. Sadly money is a fungible commodity- this frees up billions in Iran’s oil profits to fund terror proxies. Or make ridiculous threats of expansion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
