It appears to be a development of the Alvand class (British Saam class) design. They are described as Destroyers by the Iranian state media but the size and weight of the ships are more in keeping with that of light frigates. With a 1,420 ton displacement, the ships are also referred to as Corvettes since they are on the lower end of frigate tonnage.
The first ship, Jamaran is said to be completed and is stationed in the port of Bandar Abbas. On February 23, 2007, Iranian media reported that production had started on a second ship, Velayat.[4]
