TEHRAN, IRAN — The navies of Iran, Russia and China will hold military drills off the coast of Iran this week in a bid to boost cooperation, Iranian media reported Sunday.
The three countries, which share a common desire to counter what they characterize as American hegemony, have held similar exercises in the region in recent years.
The drills "will begin on Tuesday in the port of Chabahar," located in southeast Iran on the Gulf of Oman, the Tasnim news agency said, without specifying their duration.
"Warships and combat and support vessels of the Chinese and Russian naval forces, as well as the warships of Iran's naval forces of the army and the Revolutionary Guards," the ideological arm of Iran's military, are expected to participate, according to Tasnim.
The exercises will take place "in the northern Indian Ocean" and aim to "strengthen security in the region, and expand multilateral cooperation between participating countries," Tasnim said.
Azerbaijan, South Africa, Oman, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Qatar, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Sri Lanka will attend as observers.
China will deploy "a destroyer and a supply ship," Beijing's defense ministry said on the WeChat social media network.
The Iranian army conducted drills in the same area in February to "strengthen defense capabilities against any threat."
That’ll be a goat screw.🤪
I think Putin’s hand was forced in Ukraine by NATO...something that would have never happened under Trump.
But Putin is no angel. He kills internal enemies, he paid Iran LOTS of money to kill US soldiers in Iraq, he he still pals with terrorism supporting regimes.
Do I think he loves his country? Yes. Do I think he’s pragmatic? Yes.
As Frankie Five Angels..”The Godfather” said..
“Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he never *trusted* Hyman Roth!”
Trump would be wise to do the same. I’m quite certain he is.
Thus... The IRAN-RUSSIA-NORTH KOREA-CHINA ALLIANCE is holding a military exercises... They have done that for years, it continues.
They have gone way further than that though. Some in that alliance (Russia and North Korea) are invading parts of Europe as we speak. IRAN and also Russia are heavily supporting Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel.
While China is mass-exporting military tech to Russia, and is preparing to invade Taiwan...
From the sound of the new Prime Minister, the Canucks will be joining them soon.
