Iran to start military maneuvers days after Western-led drills in Gulf - USATODAY.com:
"Iran unexpectedly announced Wednesday that it would be holding military maneuvers in the Gulf this week, only days after U.S.-led navies held exercises in the same waterway.
Iranian state television quoted the head of the Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, as saying the 10-day maneuvers, named 'Great Prophet,' would take place in the Gulf and the Sea of Oman, beginning Thursday.
'The war games are aimed at demonstrating the deterrent power of the guards against possible threats,' Safavi said."
