IRAN-MILITARY-WARGAMES

An Iranian clergyman looks through his binoculars as he stands behind an anti-aircraft gun during military exercises held at an unidentified location in the central Iranian province of Isfahan on November 24, 2009. The war games were part of five days of manoeuvres which Iran began on November 22 aimed at preparing responses to aerial threats against the country's nuclear facilities -- from reconnaissance to actual assault. The Islamic republic has repeatedly held war games and boasted advances in its military capabilities in a bid to show its readiness to thwart any threats to its controversial nuclear programme.
