Iran to launch maritime war game
Iran's navy force will launch a war game in Oman Sea and India
Ocean on Friday, December 28, Trend news agency reported referring
to Fars agency.
Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that
"Velayat 91" military drills that will start in three days, will
cover a one million km square area in free waters.
"Testing of defense missile systems, submarines and war ships is
scheduled during the war game," he said.
Sayyari also noted in November that in the future Iran plans to
send its naval forces to Atlantic ocean, in an attempt to
demonstrate the power and capabilities of Iranian navy.
In September, Sayyari said that Iran's naval forces will expand
their international presence to safeguard the Islamic Republic's
interests and rights.
On December 24, 2011 Iran's Navy launched massive "Velayat 90"
naval military drills which covered an area stretching from east of
the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Aden.
