\r\n\tIran issued a VHF radio alert to ships transiting the region, informing them of live-fire naval exercises scheduled for Sunday and Monday in the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong><\/p>

This warning, detected by maritime risk monitoring companies and confirmed by news agencies, highlights that the maneuvers could interfere with traffic in this vital route, through which approximately 20% of the world’s oil passes.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe activities will be conducted by the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and occur at a time of rising tensions with the United States and Israel.<\/p>

\r\nAt the same time, Iranian authorities are accelerating civil defense preparations: the mayor of Tehran announced the construction of bomb shelters in underground parking lots and the adaptation of metro stations to serve as emergency shelters, measures that began after recent conflicts and are expected to be gradually expanded.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe Revolutionary Guard has received a large batch of drones, and military commanders emphasize the need to maintain and strengthen strategic capabilities in the face of potential threats.<\/p>

\r\nIranian sources indicate that the focus is on maximizing defensive readiness, with plans to respond to any air attack from specific bases, without involving countries not considered hostile.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAttempts at diplomatic dialogue, including mediation by Oman and Turkey, have not progressed so far.<\/p>

\r\nThere are reports of harsher rhetoric from American leaders, contributing to the climate of alert in the region.<\/p>

\r\nThe exercises serve to demonstrate military capabilities and prepare forces for different scenarios, although, for now, there is no significant interruption to the flow of ships through the strait.
