Iran has announced the start of a missile exercise by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in western Iran, according to Iranian officials. The brief update provides no details on the scale of the drill or the systems involved.
Iran announced at 13:48 Jerusalem time that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has begun a missile exercise in western Iran, according to the official update. The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions and follows days of reports about IRGC missile activity. As The Zioneer previously reported, IRGC missile units were placed on operational readiness on June 9 (similarity 0.657), and US intelligence has been tracking missile movements in the same region. The current exercise appears to be a declared military drill rather than a covert operation, though Tehran has not specified the drill's scope, duration, or the types of missiles being tested. The region has seen multiple reported missile launches and military activity across western and central Iran in recent days, as tracked in earlier Zioneer coverage, including footage of apparent launches near Isfahan and intercepted communications about IRGC operational readiness. No further details on the exercise are available at this point.
