The missile drill “Sustainable Power 1404” was carried out by Iran in the Gulf of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean. This exercise, which included warships, air units, missile defense systems, and precision-strike cruise missiles such as Nasir and Qadir, was aimed at strengthening combat readiness and reinforcing maritime deterrence. The drills followed the June 2025 conflict involving Israel and were viewed as a counter-response to Israeli military simulations targeting Iranian nuclear sites. By showcasing resilience and advanced strike capabilities, Iran sought to signal both regional power projection and preparedness for any future escalation.
