Iran covertly repositions strike drones amid Russia drills in Strait of Hormuz, expert says
AI Summary
Amidst rising tensions with the U.S. and joint military drills with Russia in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, Iran covertly repositioned strike drones and other military assets. According to defense expert Cameron Chell, this move is a "calculated escalation" following reports of U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones with strike capabilities in the region. The joint exercises provided cover for Iran to move its drones into strike position along the coastline. In response, the U.S. has deployed MQ-4C Triton surveillance drones for maritime intelligence missions over the Gulf, while also positioning F/A-18 Super Hornets on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. These actions occur as President Trump seeks a deal with Iran regarding its nuclear ambitions.
