In order to do so, we have been monitoring the regional developments at the peak of alertness and with full intelligence command over the entire regional developments and movements.”
Lieutenant Sharifpur reiterated, “The alien media, aimed at misleading the world public opinion, and particularly cheating the regional nations, launched a psychological operation and orchestrated a media wave, trying to convey the idea that the major receiver of Grand Messenger (P) 5’s message were the regional countries.
The information officer of the war games reiterated, “The matter was clicked on the day that I, along with the Deputy Head of the IRGC Naval Forces Sardar Lieutenant Ali Fadavi in a helicopter visited the southmost parts of Larak Island and one of the important situations of the war games, measuring the dimensions of strategic Hormoz strait and tackling ways for keeping it open under any possible condition to be used by entire regional countries and neighbors.”

He emphasized, “Due to various reasons, including the unprecedented vastness of the war games operation field on the mainland costs, in the sea and on the islands on the one hand, lack of access to media reporters at such a vast geographical span; the specialized tactics applied at the operation many of which were confidential; low level cooperation of some tactical level commanders whose fist priority was proper application of military maneuvers, and lack of access to sufficient nigh time and remote distance film taking facilities, we were not able to portray the full scale of our power’s grandeur, and the significant points of these war games.”
The Grand Prophet (P) 5 War Games’ spokesman meanwhile referred to the silence observed by alien media regarding inspection of two Italian and French ships in Persian Gulf and Hormoz Strait waters during the war games, which means they were not displeased with the move, arguing, “Some alien media neither confirmed, nor denied the news, which was quite OK for us and we welcome the approach.”
