Iranian officials announced the beginning of about 30 land, air, and sea exercises involving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the regular military, more than double the number of military exercises conducted last winter. The exercises are scheduled to end in March and include drills near Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility and the Strait of Hormuz.
