TABNAK, Dec 25: Major General Gholam-Ali Rashid, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters also announced the country’s armed forces plan to hold an  military drill in the coming days.

“massive exercise using defensive and offensive tools and weapons will be planned and carried out in coming days, to confront the threats of the enemies of the Iranian nation,” he noted.

“The powerful offensive operations against the Zionist regime, especially the True Promise 2, which demonstrated a small part of the offensive might of the Iranian armed forces, and the ballistic missiles fired at military centers and predetermined targets, proved it to our commanders and the world that the skies of the occupying regime in Jerusalem are open and defenseless against our invasion, contrary to their media propaganda,” the commander further added.
