IRGC Holds Hybrid Drill in Southern Iran

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Forces conducted a combined military exercise in southern parts of Iran and the Persian Gulf islands.

The drill featured controlled live-fire operations carried out in accordance with the range of various weapons and newly adopted combined tactics, utilizing modern technologies across different operational layers.

Last week, the IRGC Navy launched a military exercise titled “Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz” in the strategic waterway.

The combined, live, and targeted drill was conducted under the supervision, control, and field monitoring of IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Pakpour.

The main objectives of the naval war game included assessing the operational readiness of the IRGC Navy’s units, reviewing support plans and scenarios for reciprocal military action, and making intelligent use of the geopolitical advantages of Iran in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
