Iranian army's ground force will hold a military drill to test its missile power capacities, Commander of the Army's Ground Force Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said.
The military exercise dubbed "Beit ol-Moqaddas 27" will take place in Iran's central province of Esfahan on May 23-24, Pourdastan said, IRNA news agency reported.
“Rocket and missile capabilities of the army's ground force are improved, the commander said, adding the capabilities will be evaluated in the two-day exercise.
Tehran held a similar drill last May and tested a series of its newest domestically-made missiles.
Iranian media outlets report that Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems in recent years.
Tehran established an arms development program during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s to counter the weapons embargo imposed on it by the U.S. and its Western allies.

[”Beit ol-Moqaddas 27”]
I still have my “I attended Beit ol-Moqaddas 26 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt” t-shirt.
Why is a Sunni like Obama — so intent on helping the Iranian Shia?
isn’t Valerie Jarrett Iranian? And maybe it’s just anything that can hurt the US he goes along with.
I was wanting to attend Beit ol-Moqaddas 28 but the tickets are already sold out!
Noooooooooooooo!!!!!
