FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Commander of the IRGC Ground Forces Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour said on Saturday that the maneuvers are part of annual drills staged by the IRGC to increase the preparedness of its military units.
He added that presenting part of the IRGC capability to counter possible threats of extra-regional enemies is another goal of the drills, which will be the last military maneuvers by the IRGC during the current Iranian calendar year (started March 21, 2011).
The commander stated that bolstering the IRGC’s defensive and deterrence abilities and promoting its defensive capabilities, as well as implementing modern defensive tactics, and taking advantage of advanced indigenous military equipment are other objectives of the drills.
“Participating forces…will increase their combat and spiritual preparedness to counter possible threats and dangers…and will prove their capabilities to the enemies…by taking advantage of the most advanced defensive methods,” he added.

He went on to say that the IRGC is completely prepared to respond to at any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
