Iran is ready to roar again! Only two months after a fierce and brutal 12-day war with Israel and the United States, Tehran is gearing up for a massive missile drill. Set in the wild waters of the northern Indian Ocean and the Sea of Oman, this two-day exercise starts on Thursday and promises fireworks. This military show isn’t just about missiles. Iran will unleash an exciting mix of missile launches, drone flights, and electronic warfare to demonstrate its sharp battle skills and readiness for any new fights. According to a Newsweek report, many forces will take part: surface and underwater naval vessels, aerial units, coastal and sea missile platforms, plus electronic warfare teams. Rear Admiral Abbas Hassani, speaking for the Iranian Navy, said, "A wide range of precision-strike cruise missiles with short, medium and long ranges will be employed to hit and destroy surface targets." He added that the drill will "sharpen combat readiness, improve command systems and strengthen deterrence." That means Iran wants the world to know it means business! This huge missile drill happens after the recent clashes that rocked the region. In June, Iran fired missiles and drones at Israel, which answered back with airstrikes on Iranian military sites. The US jumped into the chaos on June 22 with strikes on Iran's nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iran responded by attacking a US air base in Qatar. Then, US President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire on June 24, pausing the deadly fighting. Now, Iran is flexing its muscle again. This drill is a clear message to both Israel and the US: Tehran is strong, alert, and ready for whatever comes next. The tense situation might have paused, but Iran’s mighty missile exercise shows the flames of conflict are still burning hot in the northern Indian Ocean. Stay tuned for more updates on this dramatic military dance!
