 TEHRAN: Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards fired five missiles on Sunday as part of an ongoing military drill in the strategic Strait of Hormuz oil route, state television reported.
The shore-to-sea and sea-to-sea missiles struck at a single target simultaneously, the report said without offering further details.
The Guards have been conducting a military drill since Thursday in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, the narrow strategically located waterway through which 40 percent of world's seaborne oil supplies pass.
The missile programme of Iran, which boasts of having projectiles that can hit targets in arch-foe Israel, has raised concerns in the West which is already at loggerheads with Tehran over its controversial nuclear project. |  |
