PNN – The international affairs expert said: By holding exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is seeking to demonstrate its level of defense preparedness against American threats, and some of Iran’s military capabilities will definitely be used in this exercise.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Iran’s military exercises in the Strait of Hormuz are being held in a situation where security and political developments in the region have become increasingly sensitive. The Strait of Hormuz, as one of the world’s most important strategic passages in the field of energy, has always had a special place in regional and international security equations, and holding exercises in this region reflects its importance in the defense strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to expert analysis, one of the main goals of this exercise is to demonstrate the level of readiness of the Iranian armed forces against possible threats and strengthen the country’s defensive deterrence. In a situation where political pressure and foreign sanctions against Iran have increased, holding such exercises could send a clear message to the opposing sides about Iran’s defense capabilities and the costs of any military action.
In addition to its trans-regional goals, this exercise is also considered to carry messages for the countries of the region. Some analyses indicate that by holding this exercise, Iran is emphasizing the need for regional countries to maintain regional security and avoid providing a platform for foreign military actions. From this perspective, the Strait of Hormuz exercise can be evaluated within the framework of Iran’s defense and deterrence policies and with the aim of influencing the security equations of the region.
China and Russia’s participation in the drills indicates their support for Iran against US threats.
In an interview with ISNA, Seyyed Reza Mirtaher said regarding the news that Iran is holding exercises in the Strait of Hormuz: This exercise is being held at a time when the European Union has declared the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization and has imposed sanctions against some Iranian institutions and figures, with the aim of legitimizing a possible US attack on Iran.
Mir Taher also continued regarding some reports of joint exercises between Iran, China, and Russia in the coming days: The fact that China and Russia are said to be participating in these exercises, while the USS Abraham Lincoln is also present in the region, indicates their support for Iran against American threats.
Iran displays part of its defense capabilities in the exercise to show off its power
This international affairs expert stated that this exercise is definitely being carried out in line with Iran’s readiness to confront a possible American attack, and in this exercise, Iran will demonstrate some of its capabilities in the defense field to demonstrate its power, and said: In fact, Iran is trying to show the Americans the extent of its defense capabilities in this exercise.
Mir Taher expressed his belief that this exercise is also a warning to the countries of the region, because even though some countries in the region have announced that they will not allow the United States to use their airspace and land to attack Iran, and said: Some reports confirm that the US is actually seeking to use the airspace of regional countries to attack Iran, and in fact, one of the goals of this exercise, within the framework of regional goals, is to warn regional countries to seriously and practically prevent the US from using their airspace to attack Iran.
