Dubai:
The US Navy on Tuesday criticized Iran as “irresponsible and reckless” for carrying out an exercise involving firing a missile at a replica aircraft carrier in Gulf waters.
“We are aware of the Iranian exercise of attacking a model of a ship similar to a stationary aircraft carrier,” US Fifth Fleet spokeswoman Rebecca Rebarich told AFP.
“While we are always on the lookout for this type of irresponsible and reckless behavior by Iran near busy international waterways, this exercise has not disrupted coalition operations in the region or affected the free flow of commerce in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters. “
