Iran and Russia "challenge" the US at the height of tensions

Iran and Russia will hold a joint naval exercise on Thursday in the Gulf of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean, an Iranian naval commander said.

Iranian naval commander Captain Hassan Maqsoudlou said that the combined naval exercise of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and the Navy of the Russian Federation will take place in the Gulf of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean region, according to the official Iranian news agency IRNA.

The exercise aims to “expand joint naval cooperation and strengthen coordination” between the two navies in planning and conducting combined operations, Maqsoudlou said.

Holding this exercise alongside other drills by Iran's armed forces reflects the two countries' attention to developments in the Gulf of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean, and demonstrates their commitment to increasing maritime cooperation, combating unilateralism, and supporting maritime trade security in the region, IRNA reported.

For his part, the commander of the Russian Naval Forces, Captain Alexey Sergeev, said: "We are ready to conduct joint exercises in any region," IRNA reported.

The Iranian-Russian drills come as Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) began a military exercise in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, amid tensions with the US.

A statement from the IRGC's public relations division said the "Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz" exercise aims to assess the operational readiness of its naval forces.

The next day, Tehran and Washington held a second round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Geneva, under the mediation of Oman.
