Iran’s Navy to Hold Massive Drill in Days
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A senior Iranian Navy commander announced that a massive drill code-named “Velayat 94” is planned to be held in the northern areas of Indian Ocean in the coming days.
Navy Lieutenant Commander Rear Admiral Gholam Reza Khadem Bigham said that “Velayat 94” will be held later in the Iranian calendar month of Dey (started on December 22).
The drill is aimed at evaluating the capabilities and testing the military equipment of the Iranian Navy forces in northern Indian Ocean, he noted.
“Iran’s presence in international waters and high seas and holding various drills indicate the Islamic Republic’s high level of preparedness and power, and this is the most important deterrent for other countries,” the Iranian commander added.
Iran has frequently made it clear that the message of the Iranian Navy’s various war-games has always been peace and friendship for regional countries.
