Iranian news agency Mehr reported that submarines and naval helicopter carriers were stationed at predetermined locations to create a "strategic defense flotilla" meant to drill protecting Iran's territorial waters.

 

Helicopters and drones are also taking part in the naval exercise, while special commando units of the Iranian Navy carried out training in the Mokran coast in the southeastern part of the country, off the coast of Oman.
