Iran declares Antarctica its property in direct challenge to Biden, global treaty

Last autumn, Iran’s Navy commander declared in a televised broadcast that the regime claims ownership of Antarctica and intends to establish a military presence in the South Pole.

“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).

Iran’s naval provocations are gaining renewed focus in the aftermath of Iranian-backed militias killing three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last month.

A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department was questioned about whether the recent decision to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar could potentially be utilized by Iran to establish a base in Antarctica.

“No. Iran’s 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.”

Despite the increasing aggressiveness of the clerical regime in the Middle East and globally, the Biden administration released $6 billion in sanctions relief to Tehran’s rulers, Fox5 Atlanta reported.
