Iran tests naval missiles as part of fresh war games in Persian Gulf

The Iranian military staged a large-scale exercise in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, official state media reported.

 

The war games, which were given the moniker “Great Prophet 9,” began with “maritime mine operations by speedboats” and “the firing of coast-to-sea missiles” in the Persian Gulf, according to Press TV.

 

Last month, senior Iranian military officials continued to threaten “crushing responses” against Israel for the death of a top Revolutionary Guards officer in an airstrike on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

 

The attack also killed senior Hezbollah operatives, among them the son of the late arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh.
