US Navy condemns Iran's 'irresponsible, reckless behaviour' in war games staged during heightened tensions.

Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard fired a missile from a helicopter targeting a replica US aircraft carrier in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, state television reported on Tuesday, an exercise aimed at threatening the US amid tensions between Tehran and Washington.

The exercises - dubbed "Prophet Muhammad 14th" - were held near the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for a fifth of global oil output.

Footage of the war games broadcast on state television showed the Guard's air and naval forces readying for an attack off the country's southwestern coast.

Speedboats skimmed across the water in formation before ground forces fired cannons and a missile was launched from a helicopter, leaving a trail of smoke before appearing to smash into the side of the fake warship.

The Iranian maritime manoeuvre was staged at a time of heightened tensions between Iran and the United States.

The US Navy condemned the "irresponsible and reckless behaviour by Iran", calling it an attempt "to intimidate and coerce".

The US Navy 5th Fleet, which is based in the Gulf state of Bahrain, also criticised Iran's use of the replica aircraft carrier.

"We are aware of the Iranian exercise involving attacking a mock-up of a vessel similar to a motionless aircraft carrier," its spokeswoman Commander Rebecca Rebarich said in a statement emailed to the AFP news agency on Tuesday.

"The US Navy conducts defensive exercises with our partners promoting maritime security in support of freedom of navigation; whereas, Iran conducts offensive exercises, attempting to intimidate and coerce."

The war games came only days after Tehran accused US fighter jets of harassing an Iranian commercial airliner over Syria.

At least four passengers on board the Mahan Air plane were injured in Thursday's incident after the pilot took emergency action to avoid the warplanes, Iranian authorities said.

As much as I frown at US aggressive behavior in general, Iran should learn how to stop making noise!!

They can calm down and develop their military then if US threatens them, they can strike back. They can learn a clue from North Korea.

Their own gra gra just too much!! That is how they do gra gra and got their general killed and till now, no substantial revenge has been carried out.
