\n TEHRAN \u2014 Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched underground ballistic missiles as part of an exercise involving a fake aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, state television reported Wednesday, the latest barrage in a drill that saw two American bases temporarily go on alert over the launches.<\/p>\n

Drones separately targeted the bridge of the fake aircraft carrier, according to the state TV report. The TV did not immedia<\/a>tely air footage of the launches or the drone attack, nor did it identify the missiles used in the drill.<\/p>\n

However, the message of the drill was clearly targeted at the United States.<\/p>\n

A semiofficial news<\/a> agency close to the Guard published a graphic overnight that photoshopped the image of an American carrier into the shape of a casket, with a caption quoting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei pledging to seek revenge for the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

The drill \u2014 and the American response to it \u2014 underlined the lingering threat of military conflict between Iran and the U.S. after a series<\/a> of escalating incidents last year led to the January drone strike. Tehran responded to that strike by firing ballistic missiles that wounded dozens of American forces in Iraq.<\/p>\n

While the coronavirus pandemic has engulfed both Iran and the U.S. for months, there has been a growing confrontation as America argues to extend a yearslong U.N. weapons embargo on Tehran that is due to expire in October. A recent incident over Syria involving an American jet fighter approaching an Iranian passenger plane also has renewed tensions.<\/p>\n

Iranian commandos fast-roped down from a helicopter onto the replica in the footage aired Tuesday from the exercise called \u201cGreat Prophet 14.\u201d Anti-aircraft guns opened fire on a target drone near the port city of Bandar Abbas.<\/p>\n

State television footage also showed a variety of missiles being fired from fast boats, trucks, mobile launchers and a helicopter, some targeting the fake carrier. A commander said the Guard, a force answerable only to Khamenei, planned to fire \u201clong-range ballistic missiles\u201d as well during the drill that continued Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ballistic missile fire detected from the drill resulted in American troops being put on alert at Al-Dhafra Air Base in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and Al-Udeid Air Base, the forward headquarters of the U.S. military\u2019s Central Command in Qatar, the military said. Troops sought cover during that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident lasted for a matter of minutes and an all-clear was declared after the threat \u2026 had passed,\u201d said U.S. Army Maj. Beth Riordan, a Central Command spokeswoman.<\/p>\n

Both bases are hundreds of miles away from where Iran put the replica aircraft carrier.\u00a0Al-Dhafra also is temporarily home to five French-built Rafale fighter jets on their way to India for that country\u2019s air force.<\/p>\n

Other footage from the exercise aired by Iran\u2019s state television showed fast boats encircling the mock-up carrier, kicking up white waves in their wake. While Iran\u2019s naval forces are dwarfed by the U.S. Navy, its commanders practice so-called \u201cswarm\u201d tactics aimed at overwhelming the U.S. carriers that pass through the strait on their way in and out of the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t immediately clear if all the footage was from Tuesday, as one overhead surveillance image that appeared to be shot by a drone bore Monday\u2019s date. The exercise had been expected as satellite photos released Monday showed the fake carrier being moved into place by a tugboat.<\/p>\n

A black-and-white satellite photo taken Tuesday by Colorado-based firm Maxar Technologies showed damage to the replica\u2019s bow and several of its fake jet fighters.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
