Iran targets replica US aircraft carrier during military drills in Strait of Hormuz


(CNN) Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps struck mock targets, including a replica of a US aircraft carrier, on Tuesday night during military drills in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The exercises, which included long-range ballistic missiles and drones, sent two US bases in Qatar and the UAE into high alert. Iran's long-range ballistic missiles have been a bone of contention between Tehran and its regional rivals, namely Saudi Arabia. "At approximately 5:30 a.m. local time, Iran launched several ballistic missiles from Iran to the southern Arabian Gulf. Personnel at Al Udeid and Al Dhafra were ordered to take cover for several minutes until an all-clear was sounded.
