Iran, China, and Russia to conduct joint naval drills

Iran, China, and Russia are preparing for joint naval drills in the Gulf of Oman, with Russian and Chinese warships arriving at Iran's Chabahar port. The exercise, named "Security Belt-2025," aims to strengthen military cooperation among the three nations. The drills will include simulated maritime attacks, search and rescue operations, and security inspections. This collaboration comes amid rising tensions in the region, as Iran faces pressure from the U.S. and Israel regarding its nuclear program. U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the significance of the drills, asserting that the U.S. remains stronger than its adversaries. The joint exercises reflect Iran's efforts to solidify alliances with China and Russia amid ongoing geopolitical challenges.
