Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Plans “War Games”

News24.com (South Africa): Iran plans ‘war games’

Thousands of Iranian troops will on Friday start a week-long military manoeuvre in the Gulf to ready armed forces for warding off “threats”, a senior commander announced on state television.

The commander of the navy of revolutionary guards corps, Rear-Admiral Mostafa Safari, did not specify the nature of the threat although the manoeuvre comes amid increasing tensions with the West over Tehran’s nuclear programme.

“The revolutionary guards corps navy and air force in collaboration with (Iran’s regular) army, navy, (the volunteer militia) Basij, and the Iranian police will start a manoeuvre from 31 March until 6 April in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman,” he said.

Iran has two armed forces in which both have their own ground, naval and air force all under the command of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

He added: “We hope … We will gain the necessary and needed readiness to decisively reply to any kind of threats.”

Flap thinks the Iranians are planning for war. Iran has no intention to abide by the requests of the IAEA and the United Nations Security Council.

When the nuclear point of no return is reached,,,,,,,
