Colonel Abolfazl Sepehri, spokesman for the four-day military exercises, said that Iran's armed forces deployed the country's most up-to-date passive radar system and hardware for electronic warfare on Saturday, according to the report, which did not elaborate on the system.

Led by the Iranian Army's Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base, the armed forces also employed domestically-developed artillery, missile and composite defense systems to counter possible radar disruptions and enemy's telecommunications.

Sepehri told reporters that the Iranian forces applied certain strategies to further disrupt the navigational systems of the hypothetical enemies' flying objects, the report said.

Iran started on Friday an aerial war game in the eastern part of the country.

On Saturday, Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corp aerospace division, said that Iran would retaliate if the United States attacked it.
