The Israel Defense Forces will simulate conducting a widescale strike in Iran, during the military’s month long Chariots of Fire exercise.

The drill will take place in Cyprus during the fourth and final week of the exercise, starting May 29.

Last September, IDF chief Aviv Kohavi said the army had “greatly accelerated” preparations for action against Iran’s nuclear program.
