Iran has released dramatic visuals from its “Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz” military drill, showcasing precision missile strikes on a target vessel amid soaring tensions with the United States and Israel.

The high-profile show of force underscores Iran’s dual-track strategy: negotiate at the table, deter at sea.
