Iran's missile test explodes near Rafal, India

Tehran, Ta. Tuesday, July 28, 2020

Iran tested a missile from a fighter jet. According to Iranian state media, Iran tested the missile by building a replica of the US warship Nimitz in the Gulf of Hormuz.

The UAE's Aldhafra Airways is located near where the missile landed. Five Indian Rafale planes were parked in Iran at the time of the blast. However, he was not harmed.

Tensions between the US and Iran have been high for some time. The two countries are conducting military operations with each other in mind. Meanwhile, Iran tested a missile from a fighter jet.

Iran rehearsed a missile attack on it from a fighter jet, replicating the American warship Nimitz. The American Navy patrols the Gulf countries from Nimitz. It was in that context that Iran conducted this military exercise. Iran's state media showed a satellite image showing the scene of the military test.

The Iranian military said in an official statement that there was no such tension at the moment, but that the exercise was carried out to respond to the US if needed. The U.S. Navy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Following Iran's military exercise, fears of a war between the two countries in the Gulf of Hormuz have begun to surface. As the United States passes the Nimitz warship through the area, Iran is likely to target it. That has led to growing tensions in the middle of the Gulf region.
