Iran’s Army (Artesh) and the IRGC launched joint military
drills across half the country today. The maneuvers codenamed the Modafe'an-e
Aseman-e Velayat 4 (“Defenders of the Velayat Skies 4”) are designed to
test the country’s air defense capabilities. A military spokesman said the seven-day
Velayat-4 maneuvers were the “biggest air drills the country has ever had.”
“These drills… send out a strong warning to those threatening Iran,”
said Brig. Gen. Shahrokh Shahram, the spokesman for Velayat-4 maneuvers. (Press TV, 12 November)
