Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have deployed new missile systems on Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa islands near the Strait of Hormuz.
The systems reportedly have a range of up to 600 kilometers and are intended to target regional threats.
The deployment follows recent military exercises and coincides with ongoing tensions, including a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump urging nuclear talks.
Iran has controlled the islands since 1971, though their sovereignty is contested by the United Arab Emirates.
