Iran’s Revolutionary Guards navy held a drill in the Hormuz Strait on Monday, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, a day prior to renewed Iran-U.S. nuclear negotiations.

The drill, named “Smart Control of Hormuz Strait”, aimed at testing the readiness of operational forces in the face of “possible security and military threats”, Tasnim reported.
