On the 22nd, Iranian official media reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran showcased new missile facilities deployed on three islands in the Persian Gulf and stated that the potential targets of these weapons are "enemy bases, ships, and assets" in nearby areas. According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, these missile systems are deployed on the strategically significant islands of Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa. These three islands are located near the sea transportation hub of the Strait of Hormuz and are currently controlled by Iran. The United Arab Emirates has also declared sovereignty over the three islands. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recently conducted military exercises in nearby waters. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri said that Iran has formulated a strategy and decided to "arm" the three islands and keep their weapon systems "operational". The newly deployed missile system can completely destroy any target within 600 kilometers. He did not provide detailed information such as the missile system model mentioned above. According to a report by the Islamic Republic of Iran Radio and Television on the 22nd, Tangsiri stated that the offensive combat forces deployed in the Strait of Hormuz are in the highest level of readiness. If a battle breaks out, the enemy will be hit from places they did not anticipate. After taking office on January 20th, US President Donald Trump re implemented the policy of "maximum pressure" on Iran, reinstating and increasing sanctions on Iran. Recently, he also sent a letter to Iran, demanding that Iran renegotiate its nuclear issue with the US and threaten military action. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, previously stated that Iran will not negotiate with the West under the "bullying" of the United States. On the 21st, he reiterated that the United States' threats against Iran "will not achieve any goals" and warned that any "malicious actions" by the United States towards Iran will be "severely punished".
