Iran's Revolutionary Guards have been conducting military drills in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which 30% of the world's seaborne oil is shipped.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards have been conducting military drills this week as part of annual war games held in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which 30% of the world's seaborne oil is shipped.
"Using new tactics and equipment, the IRGC Air Force demonstrated some of its extensive capabilities in the face of hypothetical enemy threats," Iranian state TV network IRIB wrote on its website.An important achievement of the IRGC's airspace at this stage of the exercise, the successful firing of ballistic missiles from the depths of the ground was completely camouflaged, which could pose serious challenges to the enemy intelligence agencies," the website wrote.
The drills on Tuesday led two of the region's American military bases — Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar — to temporarily go on heightened alert, after which U.S. military officials called the exercises "reckless" and "irresponsible."
