Iranian state news aired footage on Monday of Russian and Chinese warships arriving at Iran’s Chabahar port for joint military exercise. The “Security Belt-2025,” drill highlights the deepening military ties between China, Russia, and Iran, marking a significant step in their growing strategic cooperation.
Despite the show of force, U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the event saying, “We’re stronger than all of them. We have more power than all of them.”
Newsweek has reached out to Iran’s Foreign Ministry for comment.
