"Experts of the Navy have conducted military exercise with active patrolling of regional waters and made enemies be aware of their potentials and capabilities to confront with any threat."

The commander said that the naval experts strive to design and construct defense terminals from where the Navy can intercept the enemies vessels adding such terminals would be effective to target hostile vessels in the Persian Gulf.
