Iranian Army has launched massive military drills, which involve forces from the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz to the northern tip of the Indian Ocean.

“The infantry and armored units as well as mechanized regiments of the Army’s Ground Force, air defense systems, subsurface, surface, and flying vessels, and rangers of the Navy have taken part in the drills. Strategic bombers of the Air Force will also provide logistical support,” Deputy Chief of the Iranian Army for Coordination Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said.

Sayyari noted that the drills also focused on enhancing the skills of the Army’s commanders and personnel in using the combat units and the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base, drones, and electronic and cyber warfare systems.

“The participants will also practice conducting operations in special environments, including those contaminated with biological, chemical, and nuclear agents, electronic warfare, and adverse weather conditions,” he added. (ILKHA)
