Drone and sub-surface units were also launched from the three Iranian islands of Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa to strike designated targets.The main phase of the exercise is scheduled to continue on Tuesday in the Strait of Hormuz, focusing on the smart control of the strategic waterway.It comes as US President Donald Trump has deployed military forces to the region, heightening concerns about possible new military action.Iranian officials have reiterated Tehran’s opposition to wars and tensions, but emphasized that the Islamic Republic is determined to defend itself against onslaught.
