Iran is preparing for military action in the Gulf

Iran's Revolutionary Guards and armed forces carried out joint air maneuvers in the Persian Gulf on Friday, a step official media said indicated a "crushing response" to the country's enemies.

Tehran has hinted in recent weeks that it could take military action in the Gulf to prevent oil exports from other countries in response to US sanctions aimed at halting its crude sales.

Washington keeps a fleet in the Gulf to protect the oil trade routes.

"In addition to reviewing the force, the exercise is a message of peace and friendship to friendly and neighboring countries," IRNA quoted Col. Yusuf Safi Bor, deputy commander of the army for public relations.

But if the eyes of enemies and arrogant forces look to the borders or the land of the Islamic Republic, they will find an overwhelming response in the blink of an eye. "

It said the Mirage, F-4 and Sukhoi-22 planes took part in the exercises on Friday.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard spokesman Brigadier General Ramadan Sharif said Iran would complete its naval exercises on Saturday with the participation of 600 heavy and light naval vessels and aircraft from various Iranian military sectors.

He said dozens of air force and army air force fighters would also take part in the parade, as well as the participation of 200 popular naval pieces as mass mobilization.
