Baku/30.09.21/Turan: According to the Mehr news agency, the Iranian ground forces will begin new exercises in the north-west of the country on Friday.
The commander of this branch of the armed forces Amir Heydari said that the “Conquerors of Khaybar” exercises will be held with the participation of armored units, artillery, UAVs and combat helicopters.
"The exercises of our armed forces in this region and in different parts of the country are planned with the aim of testing equipment and weapons, assessing the combat readiness of the armed forces anywhere in Iran," Heydari said.
The exercises will be held in the vicinity of the borders with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.
As for the name of the exercises, they contain an allusion to Israel. So, the Khaybar oasis is located in Saudi Arabia near Medina. In 628, the Arabs, under the command of the Prophet Muhammad, expelled the Jews from there. -02D-

Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan rejected Ilham Aliyev's demands for Yerevan to stop acquiring weapons. "Armenia has acquired and will continue to acquire weapons solely for the purpose of self-defense. Over 200 square kilometers of our sovereign territory is under the control of Azerbaijan. And even to regain these territories, we do not intend to consider military action, but rather a process of demarcation. So, we are buying weapons and have no intention of sending them back," he stated.
