The Iranian Army issued a statement Monday evening, relayed through affiliated channels, announcing that missile exercises would begin in the coming hours in southern Iran, conducted jointly with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The statement did not specify the scale of the drill or the types of missiles involved. The announcement follows a period of escalated military activity in the region, including prior IRGC missile exercises in western and southern Iran and ongoing kinetic exchanges between Iran and U.S. forces. The Zioneer has previously reported on IRGC exercises and threats, including a June drill in western Iran and the IRGC Aerospace Force's declared first phase of a missile and drone offensive. The new exercise appears to signal continued operational readiness, though the details remain limited and the announcement has not been independently corroborated.
