Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has launched underground ballistic missiles as part of an exercise involving a fake aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz. The drill underlines the lingering threat of military conflict between Iran and the U.S.
In this photo released Tuesday, July 28, 2020, by Sepahnews, a Revolutionary Guard's speed boat fires a missile during a military exercise. Iranian commandos also fast-roped down from a helicopter onto a replica of an aircraft carrier in the exercise called "Great Prophet 14." The drill appears aimed at threatening the U.S. amid tensions between Tehran and Washington.
It was the latest barrage in a drill that the previous day saw two American bases temporarily go on alert over the launches. The launches took place on Wednesday, said Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Guard’s aerospace division. He told state television it was first time the Guard had done this, though the paramilitary force is known to have vast underground bases hiding its ballistic missile arsenal.
