Iran Launches Air Defense Military Drills

A large number of combat, intelligence and operational divisions of the country's armed forces in addition to numerous passive defense units participate in the latest military maneuvers.

Military officials informed that the drill will include the use of "missile systems, advanced anti-aircraft artillery and various radar systems, as well as tactical maneuvers aimed at increasing the level of preparedness amid possible threats to the Islamic homeland's airspace, particularly with regards to the country's...nuclear centers."

Last June the Revolutionary Guard conducted an extensive drill in northwest Iran, during which surface-to-surface missiles were launched.

Tehran has repeatedly assured that its military might poses no threat to other countries, saying its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.
