Oman and Iran
Iran conducted a military exercise called the "Devotees of Velayat" during the second week of December. The manoevres involved the country's entire armed forces, including units of the Islamic Republic Army, Islamic Republic Guard Corps (IRGC), Islamic Republic Police Force (IRPF) and Basij (mobilization) voluntary forces. Women members from the basiji Al-Zahra battalion 530 of Chabahar carried out relief and rescue operations from helicopters.
An Iranian admiral confirmed that the war games stretched over 33 nautical miles from the strategic Straits of Hormuz (overlooked by the Musandam of Oman) to Chabahar in the southeastern-most province bordering the north Indian Ocean, near to Pakistan.
