Iran holds Military exercise near Afghanistan border

Iran launched a military maneuver near its border with Afghanistan on Saturday, days after naval exercises in the Gulf increased tensions with the West and pushed up oil prices.

Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' ground forces, said the "Martyrs of Unity" exercises near Khvat, (40 miles) from Afghanistan, were "aimed at boosting security along the Iranian borders," Fars reported.
