The drill will be held across the country in four phases and Iran's armed forces will take part in the air, ground and sea exercise and various defensive equipment including tanks, personnel carriers, ballistic missiles and vessels will be put on display, the report said.

Meanwhile, different kinds of radar systems, modern anti-aircraft missile systems, anti-cruise missile cannon, anti-armor and electronic warfare systems, fighter bombers as well as destroyers will also be showcased in the drill, according to the report.

Earlier this month, Iranian Navy Chief Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari invited neighboring and regional countries to hold joint war games in a bid to maintain security in the Middle East.

In April, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, IRGC deputy commander, said that the country is prepared to stage joint drills with its southern neighbors in the Persian Gulf.
