The annual wargames, codenamed Great Prophet 15, have become a platform for Tehran to showcase its military advancements.

The desert drill was staged a day after an Iranian submarine launched cruise missiles in the Gulf of Oman. Iran published a photo of what appeared to be a US nuclear sub observing the launch. The US sent a submarine to the Persian Gulf in a show of force last month.
