Imagine waking-up at 02:00AM by the sound of massive rocket firing next to your town and village. This happened during exercise "Great Prophet-17" at #Qeshm Island last night. #IRGC Ground & Navy Forces simulated countering amphibious attack of #UAE & #SaudiArabia at the Island.
Video recorded by the villagers at #Salakh, west of #Qeshm Island shows massive rocket barrage by #IRGC Ground & Navy Forces at maritime targets near the shores of the Island in an attempt for simulation of countering an amphibious assault at the Island in #HormuzStrait yesterday
According to #IRGC media, locals had been informed about the rocket firing in advance. IRGC Ground Force had also paid them and also gifted them groceries, foods and various other materials as compensation for the noise caused by massive rocket barrage in the west of #Qeshm.

For years, #UAE has been dreaming about occupying #Iranian Islands of Lesser Tunb, Greater Tunb & Abumusa in #PersianGulf. During exercise "Great Propher-17", #IRGC simulated an operation for rapid deployment of its Saberin specal forces to the Islands to counter UAE's invasion.
The first step was to transfer the Saberin special forces of #IRGC Land Forces by Il-76TD and An-74T-200 transport aircraft of #IRGCASF from #Tehran to #Qeshm. You can seen their Towfan MRAPs and other equipment also boarding the Il-76MD/TDs here 👇
In the next stage, Mi-171 transport helicopters of #IRGC Army Aviation escorted by AH-1J Cobra attack helicopters airlifted the Saberin Special Forces of #IRGC Land Forces to Island of Greater Tunb in #PersianGulf.
