Iran (IMNA) - He stated that he is "very concerned" about the global implications of the partnership between these three countries. According to Kurilla, Iran and Russia are strengthening their relationships, creating a chaotic environment that benefits them. The ramifications of this partnership are expected to have significant global implications. Additionally, he mentioned Iran's ability to produce drones and export crude oil despite US sanctions.

"Joint Naval Drills Highlight Iran-China-Russia Alliance and Maritime Security Efforts"

In the past month, Iran, Russia, and China conducted their fifth joint naval exercise in the Gulf of Oman since 2019, known as the "Marine Security Belt 2024." The primary goal of these drills was to enhance the security of international maritime trade, combat piracy, and maritime terrorism. The exercises took place amidst a significant US and Western naval presence in West Asia, signifying a strengthened tripartite alliance amidst evolving global geopolitical dynamics.

The naval exercises, which featured advanced missile systems and new warships, sent a clear message to the West and regional players about the trio's readiness to protect their interests and assert influence in crucial maritime corridors. This collaboration between China, Iran, and Russia underscores their mutual desire to improve maritime security while challenging the existing global power structures led by the US.

These joint naval drills occurred just a week after NATO's Nordic Response exercises, the most extensive NATO drills since the Cold War ended in 1991. The exercises involved the military participation of NATO's newest member states, Sweden, and Finland.
