TEHRAN, 15 February, 2021 (TON): On Sunday, Iran’s Army test-fired a short-range missile, the media reported.  

The missile’s range was 300km/186miles, the chief of the army’s ground forces, General Kioumars Heidari said.

Deputy chief of the army Adm. Habibollah Sayyari told IRNA that Iran and Russia will hold a joint naval drill in the northern part of the Indian Ocean in the “near future.”

Adm. Sayyari said the drill has aimed at “reinforcing security” in the region. This is the second such drill since 2019 when the two nations held a four-day exercise alongside China’s navy.

Recently, for the past couple of months, it is likely to observe that Iran has increased its military drills as the country is in an attempt to put pressure on U.S. President Biden to reenter the previous nuclear accord that the former President abandoned from.
