TEHRAN — Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard says it is conducting a naval drill in the waters of the Persian Gulf and in the country’s southern provinces of Bushehr and Khuzestan.

The Guard’s website reports that surface-to-surface missiles, precision-strike drones, and several torpedoes were used in the drill. It adds that the military exercise will continue into Saturday and feature modern military equipment.

The Revolutionary Guard holds such drills each year.
