Iran has launched a two-day missile drill in the northern Indian Ocean and Sea of Oman, showcasing missile, drone, naval, and electronic warfare capabilities in the wake of June’s 12-day war.

Axar.az reports, citing Newsweek, the exercise, involving precision-strike cruise missiles of varying ranges, is intended to boost combat readiness and signal deterrence.

The drill comes amid fragile ceasefire conditions after Iran, Israel, and the U.S. exchanged heavy strikes earlier this summer, leaving significant casualties and destruction.

While open conflict has paused, tensions remain high: Israel has pledged readiness to strike again, the U.S. continues military deployments in the region, and Iran vows to strengthen its missile and drone programs.

Analysts warn that the maneuvers are both a warning to adversaries and a reminder that escalation could resume at any time.
