Iranian, Azeri Forces to Attend Specialized Drills in Joint War Game
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Military forces from the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force and the Army of the Republic of Azerbaijan are going to practice specialized exercises at a joint war game underway in the Karabakh region.
The joint exercise, codenamed ‘Aras 2025’, kicked off on Sunday in the Karabakh areas liberated by the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The special forces of the IRGC Ground Force and the Republic of Azerbaijan’s Army held parades on the second day of the drill on Monday.
General Vali Ma’dani, the deputy commander of the IRGC Ground Force for operations and the commander of the joint exercise, said the war game will include specialized exercises on Tuesday.
The joint exercise is aimed at achieving the common strategic, operational and military goals of the two countries in accordance with the agreements endorsed by the presidents of the two neighbors, the general said.
The IRGC special forces have crossed the Bileh Savar land border crossing in Iran’s northwestern province of Ardabil to attend the drill in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Iran and Azerbaijan held a similar exercise at the common border in November 2024.
