Story highlights Iranian military drills target mock-up of USS Nimitz Speedboats and cruise missiles are used in the naval drills U.S. described fake carrier as akin to Hollywood set
Iran said the aircraft carrier target was a full-size replica of the USS Nimitz.
"Iranian naval forces displayed their skills in targeting enemy vessels and destroyed a mock U.S. aircraft carrier during the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy's massive Payambar-e Azam 9 (The Great Prophet 9) wargames in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz," read a video caption on Fars' website.
When U.S. officials first learned of the existence of the mock carrier last year, one described it as more akin to a Hollywood set than an actual warship.
But the symbolism is clear. Nimitz-class carriers are the centerpiece of U.S. naval forces, and the largest warships in the world.
Mine-laying exercises were also part of the war games, according to the Fars report.
Rear Adm. Ali Fadavi, commander of the Iranian naval forces, described that portion of the games as "the most important concern of the Americans."
"We have the most advanced sea mines which cannot be imagined by the Americans," he is quoted as saying in the Fars report.
Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami, lieutenant commander of the Revolutionary Guard, said Iran wasn't showing off all its capabilities during the games, according to a Fars report.
"We have capabilities which will remain covert and hidden before being used in action and we will merely use them in the battlefield," Salami said in the report.

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be in Washington, trying to spur Congress to cut short what he considers a feeble and dangerous deal in the works over Irans nuclear program.
Simultaneously, as if on a split screen, Secretary of State John F. Kerry will be in Montreaux, Switzerland, trying to nail down a historic accord that could give the world a year to react if Iran were to stockpile nuclear materials for a bomb and that could wean Iran away from international pariah status.
The tension between those two competing worldviews on Iran one judging the risks too great to take and the other finding a greater risk in walking away from a deal has persisted for years. But it has reached an apex for a simple reason: Iran and the United States, plus its five negotiating partners, appear closer to a deal than at any time in more than a decade of talks.
The achievements to date are so huge, unprecedented really, that it is very, very, very difficult for both parties to leave the negotiating table and go backward, said Hossein Mousavian, an Iranian diplomat who once was spokesman for his countrys nuclear negotiating team and is a visiting scholar at Princeton University.
In his speech to a joint session of Congress, Netanyahu will elaborate on the alarm he has raised frequently Iran cannot be trusted to keep its word and the still-incomplete deal poses an existential threat to Israel and the world at large.
The ramifications of no deal, however, are also perilous. Congress would all but certainly impose more sanctions on an Iranian economy that has already been buffeted by harsh financial measures. Other countries could ignore the call to continue isolating Iran economically, unraveling a united diplomatic front that the Obama administration has worked strenuously to maintain.
Iran would likely ramp up uranium enrichment, bringing it closer to the bombmaking capability that world powers have worked for so long to deny it. The United States would consider launching a military strike to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
One question that I hope both Republicans and Democrats ask Netanyahu while hes here is to be clear about what alternative is available to us, said Gary Sick, who served on the National Security Council under both Republican and Democratic administrations and is a scholar at Columbia University's Middle East Institute. Its one thing to say wed like to have an agreement in which Iran has no capability of building a nuclear weapon, under any circumstances, at any time in the future. But that is by definition impossible.
The talks with Iran have been grinding on since President George W. Bushs first term. The West wants to monitor and curtail Irans nuclear program, which began under the shah with help from the United States under an Eisenhower-era program called Atoms for Peace.
Iran insists that it uses its nuclear technology only for peaceful purposes, such as medical testing and energy, but many in the West fear that the authoritarian government aims to stockpile high-level nuclear material and eventually produce nuclear weapons.

For the first time, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said the Iranian government was behind a damaging cyberattack on the Sands Las Vegas Corporation (LVS) in 2014. He mentioned it while testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee this week.
Sands owns several well-known properties, including The Venetian and Palazzo in Las Vegas and two other resorts in Macao and Singapore.
The attack made headlines, because Las Vegas Sands is a large publicly-traded company. In February 2014, it said unidentified hackers broke into its computer network and stole customer data: credit card data, Social Security numbers and driver's licenses numbers.
At the time, it sounded like just another digital break-in. But the nation's leading intelligence official says it was much worse than that.
On Thursday, Clapper described it as a "destructive cyberattack" on par with North Korea's hack of Sony. In that case, hackers wiped computers, destroyed data and froze the company to a halt.
It's unknown what damage Iranian hackers did to the casino company. Las Vegas Sands declined to comment for this story.
However, the company thinks hackers broke into its casino in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and "certain company data may have been destroyed," according to documents it filed Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Of all targets, why Adelson's company? The businessman is a major donor to Republican politicians. He's staunchly pro-Israel, the ultimate foe of the current Iranian regime. And in the past, Adelson has casually suggested that the U.S. drop nuclear bombs on Iran.
If Clapper's assertion is true, this is the latest example of a frightening trend: governments are hacking private companies.
Chinese hacker spies have stolen business plans from U.S. power plants. Russian hackers have broken into American and European oil and gas companies. And most recently, leaked documents show American and British spies hacked a phone SIM card maker in the Netherlands.
