Iran’s Revolutionary Guards conducted a naval drill in the Strait of Hormuz called “Smart Control of Hormuz Strait,” testing readiness against potential military threats just before renewed nuclear talks with the United States. The exercise underscored Tehran’s attempt to signal deterrence and preparedness as diplomacy resumes amid ongoing regional tensions.

Iran has warned that any U.S. attack would trigger strikes on American bases across the Middle East, highlighting the fragile security environment. Negotiations restarted in Muscat after months of breakdown following last year’s Israel-Iran conflict, with both sides balancing diplomacy and military signaling while seeking to avoid another escalation.
