Tehran, February 24 (Xinhua) — Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted combined arms exercises on the country's southern coast, the semi-official Iranian news agency Fars reported on Tuesday.
According to the news agency, several units of the IRGC ground forces participated in the exercises, employing modern combat technologies and cutting-edge tactics against existing threats. The date of the exercises was not specified.
During the exercises, Iranian-made micro-drones and loitering munitions of the Rezvan type provided target detection, while Shahed-136 kamikaze drones carried out strikes on designated objects.
The armed forces also practiced a "decisive defense" scenario for the country's coastline and islands, while IRGC ground forces special forces conducted operations to prevent the enemy from approaching Iran's southern coast, the news agency added.
The exercises also involved missile units using new and diverse systems, including a missile system recently introduced into service with the IRGC ground forces.
The exercises took place amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, as well as a growing American military presence in West Asia. A third round of indirect talks between the two countries on the Iranian nuclear program is scheduled for February 26 in Geneva, Switzerland.
