TEHRAN, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Iran's navy plans to stage large-scale military drills in the Indian Ocean in the coming months, Press TV reported on Saturday

The exercises are aimed to "boost Iran's naval performance in international waters and to display the country's military prowess," Deputy Navy Commander for Coordination, Hamzeh Ali Kaviani, was quoted as saying.

The maneuver will be held this winter within the perimeters of Iran's southern territorial waters and high seas, Kaviani said.
