Iran fired a missile from a military helicopter into a mock U.S. aircraft carrier in a show of belligerence.

State-run news media reported about the live-fire drill on Tuesday. The ship, estimated to be about 650 feet long and 160 feet wide, was photographed being dragged out into the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday. It was previously docked in Bandar Abbas, a port city located on Iran’s southern coast.
