The annual large-scale military exercise conducted jointly by all four branches of the Iranian armed forces will begin on Thursday night in the south and southeast of Iran, Mehr reported.

The news agency cited Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, the Coordinating Deputy of the Iranian armed forces, as saying that the Zolfaghar 1401 (2022) Joint Exercise aims to increase the readiness of the Iranian troops, which include "the infantry, armored, mechanized units of the ground forces, defense systems of the air defense force, subsurface, surface, flying vessels and rangers of the army navy with strategic fighter jets support."

The strategic bombers of the Iranian Air Force will be deployed with the central slogan of "self-confidence, power (strength), sustainable security," Sayyari indicated, as quoted by Mehr.

According to the Rear Admiral, other goals of the Zolfaghar Joint Exercise include improving the skill of conducting operations in special conditions, such as contaminated environments with chemical, microbial, and nuclear materials, electronic warfare, and difficult weather conditions.

Sayyari pointed out that "security in the West Asian region is achievable by relying on the strength and unity of the countries in the region without the presence of the foreign powers."

"History shows that foreign countries from beyond the region have been belligerent and have not brought anything but insecurity, war and occupation to the West Asian region," he said.

Earlier, the General Staff of the Iranian armed forces warned in a statement that any potential miscalculation by the enemies, especially the US and the Israeli occupation, in any place or time will be decisively responded to.

The statement stressed that the Iranian armed forces will not allow the enemies to harm the Iranian people, underlining that they will monitor the movements of the enemies, especially the US and the Israeli occupation.
