Iranian security forces trained in maneuvering of special forces and aerial bombardment exercise • Commander of the exercise: "Emphasis - use of new systems developed by Iran"


Iran is practicing the use of a suicide UAV and is sending a threatening message to Israel: A huge exercise by Iranian security forces culminated today (Monday) with the launch of missiles, UAV fire, maneuvers by special forces and the practice of an air bomb in the south of the country.

The exercise, dubbed Zolfikar 1400, began with a large naval and aerial maneuver at the end of the day.

Today, the Tassanim news agency reported that the Revolutionary Guards had carried out a large exercise using a "Urash" suicide drone.

Pictures published by the media in Iran showed the use of the Israeli flag by members of the Revolutionary Guards as a target for missile fire and assault drones.

This is an explicit threat on the part of Tehran and an indication against who is targeting the practice, which is intended to simulate an Iranian action that combines defense of Iranian soil and a naval and air strike away from the country's shores.

The commander of the force linking the various troops participating in the exercise, Admiral Amir Mousavi, commented on the nature of the exercise and said: Using new systems developed by Iran. "

The main liaison officer between the Iranian navy and the army command, Deputy Admiral Hibibula Sayari, said at the opening of the exercise on Saturday that "the emphasis in the maneuver was on the use of weapons developed in Iran without relying on foreign military technology."

The Iranian stated that advanced means of electronic warfare and submarine combat would be used during the exercise.

"We will show everyone that we are prepared for any threat to Iran's territorial integrity, and are able to act away from our shores in order to protect our interests, so we can deal with any threat posed by the enemy in the future as well," Sayari said.

The Iranian media claimed last week that the Islamic Republic had recently succeeded in thwarting an American attempt to boycott oil destined for the Islamic Republic in the Arabian Sea region.

According to Iranian institutional television, this is an American move designed to thwart the import of oil to Iran, which is known to be under a heavy sanctions press that actually prevents it from having legal access to the world's oil markets.

According to the Mehr news agency, in the incident the American forces detained a tanker carrying the oil and forced it to transfer it to another tanker, but at one point the Revolutionary Guards raided the other tanker and actually snatched it from the Americans with the confiscated oil.
