Iranian Army’s massive war game gets underway

The Iranian Army has staged massive maneuvers code-named Mohammad Rasoulallah (Mohammad, the Messenger of God) to display the country’s military prowess.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army forces started a large-scale maneuver on Thursday morning.

Dubbed “Muhammad Rasullullah” (Muhammad, the messenger of God), the massive military exercises began with the participation of units from the Army’s Ground Force, Air Force, Navy, and Air Defense.

The Army’s war game will continue for a week (until December 31) in a large area of 2.2 million square kilometers, stretching from the northern Indian Ocean (10 degrees latitude) to the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf and in the southern Iranian provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan and Hormozgan.

On the first two days of the drills, the focus will be on displaying the capabilities and agility of the Ground Force units in deployment, preparation and construction of defensive positions.

Over the past few years, Iran’s Armed Forces have held several military drills.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly assured other nations, especially its neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.
