Iran, Russia to conduct navy drills after US nuclear talks

Iran and Russia aim to strengthen maritime security and deepen naval ties with joint drills in the Sea of Oman, signaling increased military coordination amid US-Iran tensions.

  • On Thursday, Russia will take part in joint naval exercises with the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Sea of Oman, Iranian media reported shortly after Geneva talks between Tehran and Washington.
  • Earlier this week, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched drills in the Strait of Hormuz, and Tehran temporarily restricted access for several hours for security reasons.
  • ISNA reported, citing Rear Admiral Hassan Maghsoudloo, that the drills aim to strengthen maritime security and deepen relations between the two navies in the northern Indian Ocean.
  • The U.S. naval buildup, which Trump called `armada`, signals heightened regional watchfulness as Washington and its allies monitor tensions with Iran, who warned they could shut the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The alignment follows an episode in which earlier diplomacy collapsed after an unprecedented Israeli strike on Iran, while Iranian warnings and Moscow and Tehran coordination raise regional tension risks around the Strait of Hormuz.
