Iran launched military drills across half the country on Monday, warning it would act against aggressors less than a week after Washington accused Iranian warplanes of firing on a U.S. drone.
About 8,000 elite and regular army troops will participate, backed by bombers and fighter planes, while missile, artillery and surveillance systems will be tested
Played out against a backdrop of high tension between the United States and Iran over Tehran's nuclear programme, the "Velayat-4" manoeuvres will involve the biggest air drills the country has ever held, Iran's English-language Press TV said.
