AhlulBayt News Agency: The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force has launched the final stage of the Payambar-e-A’azam (The Great Prophet) 19 military exercise in western Iran.
Rapid response operation scenarios were performed on Thursday, with the swift transfer of troops and equipment to the exercise area.
The participating units, equipped with all necessary gear and accompanied by IRGC Ground Force Airborne Division’s helicopter air cover, swiftly mobilized and deployed to the exercise area in the shortest possible time.
A heliborne and Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction (SPIE) exercise by the Saberin Special Forces of the IRGC Ground Force was also conducted in the general area of the war game.
The forces were deployed to predetermined areas to practice seizing high ground and enemy supply routes to cut off support lines.
In another part of the exercise, the IRGC Ground Force Airborne Division’s Cobra helicopters practiced destroying predetermined targets.
The choppers used 70mm Hydra rockets and 20mm cannons to destroy their designated targets.
Addressing the units, the chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said Iran's armed forces are more prepared than ever to defend the country’s territorial integrity and independence.
Major General Hossein Salami said arrogant powers, spearheaded by the United States, its regional allies and the Zionist regime, have brought Muslims nothing other than warmongering, divisions, destruction, and backwardness.
“The dream is floating in the minds, thoughts and desires of our enemies. They believe they must burn down the fate, security, and homes of Muslims in order to survive and live in security. In this regard, they do not hesitate to take any action, and even attack nations that have nothing to do with them,” he said.
Turning to the recent Israeli strikes on Syria, General Salami denounced the attacks on the defenseless Arab nation and the destruction of its factories, industries, infrastructure, and defense facilities.
“You have seen with your own eyes that if a nation is left defenseless and not powerful and strong, these criminals of history will not give them a reprieve,” he said.
The IRGC chief commander stated that there is no logic, justice, or fairness in the ideology of arrogant powers.
“If they feel a country is weak, they will attack and destroy it, bury its people under rubble, and show no mercy to its infants."
