The report added that the paramilitary "Revolutionary Guard" launched the missiles from deep within the Iranian mainland, hitting targets in the Sea of Oman and a nearby area close to the Hormuz Strait in exercises that began on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.

The missiles were identified as cruise missiles, specifically the Qadr 110 and Qadr 380 models, as well as Ghadir, with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. It was also mentioned that the "Revolutionary Guard" launched a ballistic missile, the 303, without providing further details.
