Iranian army launches surprise military drills following IAEA decision
Tehran - Saba:
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri issued an order on Thursday to begin a series of military drills called "Eqtedar," with the codename "Ya Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him."
The Iranian Army's General Staff Communications Center reported that Major General Bagheri offered congratulations on Eid al-Ghadir, explaining that the goal of these drills is to enhance the defensive and deterrence capabilities of the armed forces and assess their readiness.
The center stated that these drills are being planned and executed in light of the change in the annual calendar of the armed forces and with a focus on enemy movements, according to the Iranian News Agency (IRNA).
This decision comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors adopted a resolution on Thursday alleging Iran's non-compliance with its nuclear safeguards obligations for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Iranian Armed Forces spokesman: Replacement commanders will continue martyrs' path
Tehran – Saba: Iranian Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi said on Saturday that replacement commanders will continue the martyrs' path with vigor. Shekarchi added: "This is a miscalculation by the Zionist regime and its supporters, who believe they can weaken the armed forces by killing their commanders." Regarding the Zionist regime's claim that Iran targeted three residential areas in Operation True Promise 3, he said, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA: "The fake Zionist regime attacked our residential areas yesterday morning, Friday, killing a large number of innocent people, including women and children. Therefore, this regime is considered a criminal usurper who attacked residential areas and killed innocent people." Shekarchi added: "The Zionist regime is completely incapable of intercepting our powerful and highly accurate missiles, which are capable of penetrating various Zionist defenses, even with the assistance of the regime's allies, especially the United States. Our missiles have bypassed these defenses several times, and the "True Promise 3" missile was launched with far greater destructive power. Therefore, these claims are the result of their inability." The Iranian Armed Forces spokesman continued: "If some of our missiles hit residential areas, it is because the Zionist regime created interference to divert the missiles' path from hitting military targets. This actually prevents our missiles from hitting military centers, especially the headquarters of the Zionist Ministry of Defense. Naturally, they were unsuccessful despite all these tricks."

The agency quoted this unidentified official as saying in a statement to CNN: "Iran will target the regional bases of any country that provides support to Israel."
