Iran to Stage Military Drills in the Persian Gulf  and Hormuz Strait

  

Maintaining security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, as the world’s key economic and energy routes, is the main goal of the war games.

April 21, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps will begin a three-day military of maneuvers in the strategic Strait of Hormuz beginning on Thursday.

The exercise is aimed at greater preparation to maintain security in and around the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway in which over 40 percent of global oil supplies commutes daily.

Western powers led by the United States since the end of WWII have regarded the Persian Gulf as vital to their global interest and for this reason could not tolerate any nation in the region that follows its own independent course of actions.

That explains the reason behind Western pressures on Iran to abandon its peaceful nuclear program. They claim the ancient Middle Eastern nation is building a nuclear weapon. Tehran has repeatedly denied the charge saying its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Iran’s top military official Brigadier General Hossein Salami explained, ‘ maintaining security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, as the world’s key economic and energy routes, is the main goal of the war games starting tomorrow morning,’ Fars news agency quoted him as saying.

The top official also said these exercises pose no threats whatsoever to neighboring countries in the region.
