This is the second phase of a series of exercises called Eqtedar, which began near the Natanz, Fordow, and Khondab nuclear facilities in early January.

According to state-run IRIB television, during the first phase of the exercise, air units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted "comprehensive defense of nuclear sites against multiple airborne threats under challenging electronic warfare conditions."

In the second phase, air defense units will conduct operations to detect, identify, track, intercept, and destroy enemy targets using domestically produced radar equipment.

Accordingly, the units identify and track a range of intruding drones through air defense sensors and take the necessary tactical action to counter them.

Over the past few weeks, the Iranian armed forces have conducted numerous military exercises. Military officials say they will conduct further drills in the coming weeks to enhance the army's readiness against potential threats.
