The Iranian armed forces will start extensive military exercises in the country's southern waters on Thursday, a senior Iranian commander was quoted as saying by Press TV on Tuesday.

"The might of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be displayed through joint maneuvers between the army's ground, naval and air forces, with the support of the Khatam al-Anbia air defense base," said Iran's navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari.

The six-day military exercises, named Mohammad Rasoulallah, will cover areas from the east of the Strait of Hormuz to the southern sections of the Gulf of Aden, as per the report.

Diverse warships, destroyers, submarines, missiles, aircraft and helicopters will be used in the drill in a bid to improve the naval forces' capability, Sayyari said.
