Iran Conducts Live-Fire Drills Near Strait of Hormuz as US Military Increases Presence

Iran has announced live-fire military exercises near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, extending a five-nautical-mile zone from ground level up to 25,000 feet. The maneuvers are scheduled from January 27 to 29 and airspace in this area is considered hazardous during the period.

The announcement comes as US military assets have arrived in the Middle East, escalating regional tensions. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime route for global trade, with millions of barrels of oil transported daily each week.

Iran has warned that any attack on its forces would be met with an immediate and full response, urging both civilian and military aircraft to exercise caution and follow all air directives. Washington officials have stated that all options, including military action, remain on the table amid rising tensions. Any disruption in this key route could impact international energy markets and heighten geopolitical instability.
