Army launches drill in northwest Iran
Tasnim The Iranian Army Ground Force staged a war game in the countrys northwestern regions near the common border with Turkey on Wednesday.

The unannounced military exercise has been held in regions near Oroumiyeh, capital of the northwestern province of West Azarbaijan, with Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi in attendance.

The military drill involves rapid reaction units, mobile and offense brigades, and helicopters from the Army Ground Forces Airborne Unit.

Held with the theme One Target, One Shot, the exercise is aimed at evaluating the combat preparedness of Army units and their mobility and agility in the battlefield.

Irans Armed Forces hold routine military exercises throughout the year.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Irans defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.
