Hormuz horror show: Missiles launch, ships explode - IRGC's drill video sends shivers, US warned

Published on Feb 17, 2026 02:05 am IST

Iran has released dramatic visuals from its “Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz” military drill, showcasing precision missile strikes on a target vessel amid soaring tensions with the United States and Israel. While Tehran continues diplomatic engagement in Geneva, it has simultaneously warned that it could choke the Strait of Hormuz — a vital artery for global oil trade — if attacked. The high-profile show of force underscores Iran’s dual-track strategy: negotiate at the table, deter at sea.
