Iran's Revolutionary Guards begin military drills in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) began a series of military exercises in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, state media reported, a narrow and strategic waterway in the Gulf.

Intensive drills were being conducted by the Guards' naval forces under supervision of the head of the IRGC, according to state TV, after the United States deployed a large naval force to the Gulf.
