Iran starts naval drill, prepares to confront Western threats
Tehran has started a six-day naval drill aimed to show "the armed forces' military capabilities" in confronting enemy threats, and also conveying the message of peace to its neighbors. The training is being conducted in key Strait of Hormuz.
The drill, dubbed Velayat 91, or Guardianship 91, also sends a message to Iran's enemies that the country takes defending its vital interests very seriously, the country’s naval commander Habibollah Sayyari said.
He added that the drill is aimed at sending the neighbors a message of friendship and peace.
