原文：

On Saturday, Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard conducted a drill, launching anti-warship ballistic missiles at a simulated target at a distance of some 1,800 kilometers (1,120 miles) in the Indian Ocean, a day after the Guard's aerospace division launched surface-to-surface ballistic missiles and drones against ‘hypothetical enemy bases’ in the country's vast central desert.

Last Thursday, Iran's navy fired cruise missiles as part of a naval drill in the Gulf of Oman, under surveillance of what appeared to be a U.S. nuclear submarine. Earlier last week, the Guard's affiliated forces carried out a limited maneuver in the Persian Gulf after a massive, drones-only drill across half of the country earlier in January.

中譯：

伊朗準軍事組織革命衛隊所屬航太師，才對伊朗廣闊中央沙漠的假想敵基地，發射數枚地對地彈道飛彈，並動用數架無人機進行攻擊，而1天後，該革命衛隊即實施另一場演習，於週六對遠在1800多公里（1120英里）外、位於印度洋上的模擬靶艦，發射反艦彈道飛彈。

上週四伊朗海軍於阿曼灣操演時，發射了數枚巡弋飛彈，對此進行監控的似為1艘美國核子潛艇。革命衛隊所屬部隊，繼1月初於伊朗大半國境單就無人機進行的大規模演訓後，在上週稍早些時，又實施了一場小規模演習。
