IRGC Concludes Strait of Hormuz Live-Fire Drills

Iran's Revolutionary Guard naval forces completed a second day of live-fire exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, following a NAVAREA warning issued for Feb 1-2. The drills, conducted amid the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group's presence in the Arabian Sea, demonstrated Iran's ability to disrupt the waterway through which 20% of the world's oil passes. CENTCOM monitored the exercises and described them as 'provocative but within Iranian territorial waters.'
