Iran, Russia, and China Hold Joint Military Drills near Strait of Hormuz

Iran has concluded wide-ranging joint military exercises with Russia and China in waters stretching from the Strait of Hormuz to the northern Indian Ocean, as regional tensions escalate amid explicit US threats of military action against Tehran.

Joint Drills across Strategic Waterways

Iranian state and regional media reported that the exercises, named Zolfaghar 1400, involved naval, aerial, and ground forces operating across the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, and parts of the northern Indian Ocean.

According to sources cited by Al-Jazeera, Iran’s navy will continue maneuvers in the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean in the coming days. The drills included forces from the Iranian army, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, as well as participating units from Russia and China, as part of routine annual exercises.

Iran’s Nour News agency reported that additional joint drills involving the three countries are scheduled to take place near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.

Airspace Restrictions and Live-Fire Activity

Ahead of the exercises, Iran issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), warning of live-fire military activity in the airspace surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the notice, military firing activity was conducted between January 27 and 29 within a five-nautical-mile radius. The airspace—from ground level up to 25,000 feet—was designated as restricted and hazardous througho

US Threats and Military Buildup

The drills come amid heightened tensions with Washington, as US President Donald Trump openly threatened military action against Iran and confirmed the deployment of additional naval forces to the region.

Trump said “very big, very powerful ships” were sailing toward Iran, adding that he hoped they would not have to be used. The Pentagon has since accelerated the deployment of a carrier strike group, advanced fighter squadrons, and missile defense systems to the Middle East.

Asked about messages conveyed to Tehran, Trump said he warned Iran against pursuing nuclear weapons and demanded an end to the killing of protesters.

Are they teaming up to fight the Americans?

Now this is true comedy…

Putin wants to hold another front, just when Trump is considering giving him some breathing room. The other day Bangladesh nationals accused Russia of forced conscription, same with a few African countries.
The US should go ahead with the campaign.
China never risked 1 soldiers life for Russia I doubt they’d do it for Iran. With zero economic value to them.

Back to the main issue, @OP, I know Iranians, they hate what their country has become. Make your findings, the Shia population doesn’t represent the majority. They love music, movies, almost all I’ve met have tattoos.
They are proud Persians and want to return to their Persian ways. They don’t participate in Islamic extremist agendas.

Anyone who loves Iran should wish them true independence, democracy or a favorable monarchy not a theocracy.

They always conduct drills as a sign of solidarity with Iran, but when Iran is attacked, they will only condemn the attack, without any further action😂

Maduro was taken by the US in front of Chinese diplomats and nothing happened. Russia kept mute. If Iran doesn't face it internal issues and leave all this global noise they will have themselves to blame. China needs the US for trade. The EU is struggling other regions are struggling. China will not risk war with the US. So Iran should be very careful.

By the time USA or Israel attacks Iran, both Russia and China will just stand aloof, leaving Iran to its fate.

Stop the deceit all this is just optics. US will strike Iran and China will not say a word. China will not risk confrontation with the US. Iran should be wary of its allies.
