Kanal13Iranian state TV released on Tuesday a video showing the country’s Revolutionary Guard holding a drill that included launching missiles, flying drones and firing guns at targets along its coast, without elaborating on the exact time or place of the exercise. According to Associated Press this comes as the United States deploys its greatest military firepower in decades in the Middle East ahead the next round of talks with Iran in Geneva on Thursday.
For weeks, Trump has talked about an “armada” that is now largely in place off the coast of Iran, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. He has also sent the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, from the Caribbean toward the Mideast. Overall, there are at least 16 U.S. Navy ships assembled, according to an analysis by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
