In a recent lengthy interview, the deputy commander of the Iranian Army for Training Affairs Brigadier General Alireza Sheikh discussed how Iran’s regime views its military doctrine. The interview was published at Fars News, which is a pro-regime media considered close to the IRGC. This is important because Iran is constantly focusing on training and conducting drills. In the last two weeks, for instance, Iran has conducted two types of drills, one focusing on the IRGC navy, and another larger army exercise.
The recent interview reveals how Iran is following Russia’s military doctrine and also learning from Pakistan and how it is focusing on missiles and drones. Iran is also warning its adversaries that it is practicing conducting raids that could destabilize the Gulf if Iran were confronted with a larger conflict.
