A TOP official from Iran\u2019s military has issued the nation\u2019s enemies a warning that any spying aircraft spotted near its joint drills with Russia and China will be destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Habibollah Sayyari<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, the coordinating deputy of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army issued the chilling warning – most likely targeted at the US – in a interview with Tasnim news agency on Saturday. It comes as Iran paired-up with China and Russia<\/a> in a triadic naval exercise in the northern Indian Ocean and Gulf of Oman<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking to reporters, he said: “Many countries are definitely seeking to know what the matter is.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSpies have also taken action.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA joint war game is no joke, and this is no joking matter for us either. We will hit whatever spying craft in the war game zone, be it watercraft or aircraft, as we have proved having such a capability in the past.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, deputy chief of Iran\u2019s Armed Forces for coordination, Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that Iran, Russia and China intend to continue to conduct joint military drills in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

The joint naval exercise has been dubbed the \u2018Naval Security Belt<\/a>\u2019<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants are expected to engage in drills fighting terrorism and piracy, as well as providing regional security.<\/span><\/p>\n

The drill will last four days and will include the three nations sharing the experience of naval rescue operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

It comes as President Trump boosts the US military presence in Saudi Arabia by sending extra troops, as global tensions rise.<\/span><\/p>\n

China\u2019s defence ministry said on Thursday it would take part in the joint operation and downplayed its significance. Beijing will dispatch a guided missile destroyer known as the Xining.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spokesman for China\u2019s defence ministry, Wu Qian<\/a>, described the movements as a \u201cnormal military exchange\u201d between the three armed forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

He stressed the manoeuvres were in keeping with international laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Wu said: \u201cIt is not necessarily connected with the regional situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
