Don't know what it means for the iranian navy to test missiles in the Persian Gulf....FR Thread:

ran Announces Long-Range Missile Test Amid Strait Of Hormuz Row With U.S.

[DJ Elliott]

Situation normal.
Iran does 1-2 major Naval Exercises a year.
Even when they were at war with Iraq - this was normal.
For that matter, it was the same under the Shah.
They always include missile shoots.
HQ and main port of the Iranian Navy and the IRGCN is at Bandar Abbas - right at the top of the SoH.
They never do exercises further than 12 hours steaming from there or the PTG base at Bushere in the north.
That way, they are an easy tow back to port when they mess up.

This is much to do about nothing...
