IRGC holds military drills in western Iran
The drills, which started on Friday, are ongoing in an area near the cities of Qasreshirin and Gilanegharb close to the border with Iraq to “enhance combat readiness and vigilance” Morad Babakhani, a deputy governor of Qasreshirin said.
Babakhani said the exercises were being conducted by an artillery and missile unit of the Najaf Ashraf Base of the IRGC’s Ground Force.
The drills are taking place as Iran has vowed to retaliate against Israel after the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh on July 31 in Tehran.
IRGC’s deputy commander Ali Fadavi said on Friday that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Leader’s orders regarding the harsh punishment of Israel and revenge for Haniyeh’s blood were clear and would be implemented in the “best possible way.”
