Tehran, February 17 (Xinhua) — Iran temporarily closed the Strait of Hormuz to conduct military exercises, the semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim reported on Tuesday.
According to the agency, maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz was closed for several hours for the exercise, codenamed "Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz," launched on Monday by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The IRGC naval forces reportedly employed a variety of offensive and defensive systems to accurately engage targets. IRGC high-speed missile boats carried out combat missions, with missiles launched from inland, the coast, and islands accurately hitting targets in the strait.
The IRGC Navy's unmanned aircraft units practiced the use of attack and reconnaissance drones in conditions of electronic jamming, delivering precision strikes against static and moving targets.
On Monday, the IRGC's official news portal Sepah News reported that the exercises were being conducted under the supervision, control, and observation of IRGC Commander Mohammad Pakpour. –0–
