China, Russia, and Iran Conduct Joint Naval Drills in Gulf of Oman Amid US Tension.

China, Russia, and Iran are conducting joint naval drills in the Gulf of Oman, with other countries also participating. The exercises aim to deepen practical cooperation between the participating countries' navies and inject positive energy into regional peace and stability. The drills come amid heightened tensions between the US and China over a range of issues, including China's refusal to criticize Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine and continuing support for the Russian economy. The US National Security Council spokesperson said the White House was not concerned by the joint training exercise.
