Iran-China-Russia Naval Drills Indicate Broader Commitment to Secure Vital Waterways: Zarif
“Iran has long stated its readiness to work with our neighbors to secure Persian Gulf,” wrote Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a tweet on Friday.

“HOPE - Hormuz Peace Endeavour - is on table right now,” he added, referring to Iran’s peace initiative for the Persian Gulf.

Zarif then noted the joint Chinese-Iranian-Russian naval drills which kicked off this morning in the Indian Ocean, saying “Our joint military drills in Oman Sea/Indian Ocean with our Russian & Chinese partners make clear our broader commitment to secure vital waterways.”
