It said the tests took place during a naval drill by Iran\u2019s Navy in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IRNA said the missiles\u2019 range can be extended but gave no details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news agency said two kinds of missiles were fired, without elaborating, and broadcast images of projectiles being launched from both a truck and a ship, hitting a buoyant target in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/training-sim\/2020\/06\/09\/amid-tensions-with-us-iran-builds-fake-aircraft-carrier-to-attack\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IranFauxFoe.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Amid tensions with US, Iran builds fake aircraft carrier to attack<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Islamic Republic appears to have constructed a new mock-up of an aircraft carrier off its southern coast for potential live-fire drills.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran\u2019s Navy chief, Adm. Hossein Khanzadi, told state TV that the \u201choming\u201d c-class cruise missiles have new warheads that can hit targets with high accuracy at a close distance. He said the missiles are capable of resisting \u201cany kind of electronic war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe important point about these missiles is that they are fully equipped with homing,\u201d Khanzadi said. Homing is a missile guidance system in which the missile has all necessary electronics for tracking and hitting a target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt means they are of the fire-and-forget type. We fire the missile and the data is on the missile itself, it has various navigation systems built in,\u201d Khanzadi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20170357904505.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20170357904505.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20170357904505.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20170357904505.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20170357904505.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this photo provided June 18, 2020, by the Iranian Army, a missile is launched during a naval exercise. (Iranian Army via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report was the first of a drill since May, when a missile fired during an Iranian training exercise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/your-military\/2020\/05\/11\/iran-friendly-fire-missile-strike-in-drill-kills-19-sailors\/\" target=_blank>mistakenly struck<\/a> an Iranian naval vessel instead of its intended target in waters near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, killing 19 sailors and wounding 15 others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also comes after a tense naval encounter between Iranian and U.S. forces in the nearby Arabian Gulf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April, the U.S. accused Iran of conducting \u201cdangerous and harassing\u201d maneuvers near American warships in the northern Arabian Gulf. Iran also was suspected of briefly seizing a Hong Kong-flagged oil tanker before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran regularly holds exercises in the Gulf of Oman, which is close to the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Arabian Gulf through which 20 percent of the world\u2019s oil trade passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. has been actively campaigning to keep a United Nations arms embargo in place on Iran that is due to expire in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from Tehran\u2019s nuclear deal with world powers two years ago, launching a maximum pressure campaign against Iran that has pushed the archrivals to the verge of conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran test fired cruise missiles in a naval exercise in the Gulf of Oman and northern Indian Ocean, state media reported
