Iran To Stage Massive Gulf Military Maneuver

Thousands of Iranian troops will start a week-long military maneuver in the Gulf on March 31 to ready armed forces for warding off “threats”, a senior commander announced on state television.
The commander of the navy of Revolutionary Guards Corps, Rear Admiral Mostafa Safari, did not specify the nature of the threat although the maneuver comes amid increasing tensions with the West over Tehran’s nuclear program.
”The Revolutionary Guards Corps navy and air force in collaboration with (Iran’s regular) army, navy, (the volunteer militia) Basij, and the Iranian police will start a maneuver from 31 March until 6 April in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman,” he said.
