Iran to launch more military exercises


LONDON, February 19 (IranMania) - Iran's elite ideological army, the Revolutionary Guards, will launch three days of military manoeuvres across the country amid mounting tension over Tehran's nuclear programme, AFP reported.

"The ground forces of the Revolutionary Guards, with 20 brigades, will participate in these manoevres using the most modern arms recently distributed to units," the ISNA news agency quoted an official statement as saying.

The Revolutionary Guards earlier this year staged naval and air manoeuvres aimed at testing the defence and preparation capacities of their ballistic missile units.
