Not Just US, Iran Drill Aimed At Russia? IRGC Flaunts Military Might Amid Tensions Over Gulf Islands

Iran launched a surprise military drill on disputed islands in the Persian Gulf after the US military increased its presence in the region. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) drill involving ships, drones and missile units focused primarily on Abu Musa Island. Iran’s state run IRNA news agency reported that the IRGC also landed forces on the Greater Tunb Island. The latest IRGC drills could be an attempt to showcase Iran’s military might as the US tries to calm growing tensions with its Gulf allies. #irgc #iran #irgcmilitarydrills #persiangulf 00:00 - INTRODUCTION 01:17 - TIMING OF THE DRILL 02:41 - US BOLSTERS MILITARY PRESENCE Footage Courtesy: Twitter/Reuters n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
