Iran's military, specifically the Revolutionary Guards Navy, conducted drills in the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman on Thursday and Friday, launching ballistic and cruise missiles at simulated targets. Iranian state media reported that the exercise involved Qadr 110, Qadr 380, and Qadr 360 cruise missiles, as well as ballistic missiles, directed towards targets in the Gulf of Oman. The stated purpose of the drills was to deter foreign threats and demonstrate Iran's readiness to confront them. This is the second naval drill conducted by Iran since the Israel-Iran war in June. The Revolutionary Guard is primarily responsible for operations in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil trade, while the national navy oversees the Sea of Oman and beyond.
