Iran launched its first military exercise since the end of its 12-day war with Israel, state television reports Thursday, with navy vessels launching missiles at targets at sea in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean.While such drills are routine in the Islamic Republic, the “Sustainable Power 1404″ exercise comes as authorities in Iran are trying to project strength in the wake of a war that saw Israel, along with the US, destroy air defense systems and bomb nuclear facilities and other sites. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
