Iran’s Army to hold military drills in Gulf of Oman
Iranian Army’s Deputy Coordinator Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said the Army will hold naval drills today in the Gulf of Oman and northern Indian Ocean.
“The joint military exercise Zolfaghar 1403 will begin tomorrow (Saturday) on the Makran coast, the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean,” Sayyari said on Friday.
Saturday’s exercises have the “objective of strengthening defense and deterrence capabilities against any land, air and sea threat,” Sayyari added.
Sayyari said that the Army’s ground, naval, air defense and air forces will participate in the military drills.
The purpose of the exercise is to enhance the defense and deterrence capabilities of Iran against any threat, he added.
Sayyari also warned the country’s enemies that Iran’s Armed Forces are ready to confront any threat from land, sea and air.
In recent weeks, Iran has conducted military exercises across the country, including near nuclear facilities in the west and center of the country.
