IRGC Navy showcases missile capabilities in ongoing Persian Gulf exercise

New footage has been published from the second day of a large-scale naval exercise conducted by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy across the Persian Gulf, the Naze'at islands, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.

The drill, named after the martyred IRGC commander Mohammad Nazeri, began on Thursday and marks one of the force’s most extensive exercises in recent years.

According to the media, the second phase of the drill featured the launch of a large number of long-range precision ballistic and cruise missiles.

IRGC Navy units fired Qadr-110, Qadr-380 and Qadir cruise missiles, as well as the 303 ballistic missile, from various inland locations toward pre-designated maritime targets in the Gulf of Oman.

All missiles struck their targets simultaneously and with high accuracy, demonstrating enhanced operational capability and long-range strike readiness.

Iran frequently holds maritime drills in the region, stating that such exercises are necessary for safeguarding national security and ensuring stability along key waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, against the backdrop of a conflict with the US-Israeli coalition earlier this year.
