But the growing sentiment to challenge US-imposed global policies is not limited to Chinese-Russian efforts.

Other nations have also spearheaded this mission, especially Iran, which holds a long history of opposing and fighting Western diktats and imperialistic drives since the victory of the Iranian Revolution.

Last March, the Iranian, Chinese, and Russian navies joined forces in the Gulf of Oman and concluded joint exercises aimed to fortify security and cooperation. Dubbed the "Naval Security Belt Combined War Game 202," the drills intended to "deepen practical cooperation among the navies of participating countries."

Earlier this month, the Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS) reported that Iran, Russia, and China are setting the stage for a series of joint military drills in Latin America, and Venezuela is set to host the drills on its soil in August.

Tehran, Moscow, Beijing, and Caracas will not be the only participants, as nine other nations will "preposition forward-deployed military assets in Latin America and the Caribbean," the SFS report read.

The SFS also claimed that there were signs that Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) was boosting its presence in Latin America as part of the drills.
