Persian Gulf military drills, clear warning to West

TEHRAN, April 28 (MNA) -- The Persian Gulf war games sent a clear message to the West, Islamic Coalition Party Secretary General Mohammad-Nabi Habibi has stated.

The remarks by the veteran conservative politician came as the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) conducted a series of large-scale military drills in the Persian Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz from April 22 to 25.

“If the United States makes an insane move, the children of the nation in the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces will squeeze the West’s throat in the Strait of Hormuz,” Habibi said on Tuesday.

“The Sepah (IRGC) military exercise had another message too. The nation’s response to the enemy on sea will be a lot harsher than from land, and this message may follow the logic of ‘all-or-nothing’” approach, he noted.

In the four-day war games a number of domestically-made military equipments were successfully tested, namely the radar-evading, ultra-speed Ya Mahdi vessel, the Fajr 3 and Fajr 5 rocket launchers and the short-range Nasr missiles.
