Teheran stages military drill, defies US curbs
 [OMANTRIBUNE] Iran is holding a military exercise on Saturday to test its missile and radar systems, a day after US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s administration imposed sanctions on Teheran for a recent ballistic missile test. The United States sanctioned 13 individuals and 12 entities related to Iran’s missile programme and Trump’s national security adviser Michael Flynn said the United States was putting Iran on notice over its "destabilising activity". Iran’s Revolutionary Guards website said that the aim of the military exercise in Semnan province was to "showcase the power of Iran’s revolution and to dismiss the sanctions." Iranian state news agencies reported that home-made missile systems, radars, command and control centres, and cyber warfare systems would be tested in the drill. The Guards said the manoeuvres in the northeastern province of Semnan were aimed at demonstrating their "complete preparedness to deal with the threats" and "humiliating sanctions" from Washington. "Different types of domestically produced radar and missile systems, command and control centres, and cyber warfare systems will be used in this exercise," the Guards’ website said. The new sanctions do not yet mean that Washington has abandoned commitments it made to lift measures aimed at Iran’s nuclear programme, US officials said. Posted by: Fred 2017-02-05 |
