Russia's Northern Fleet confirmed on Saturday that the trio - Russia, China, and Iran - have successfully ended the joint naval drills in the Arabian Sea which entailed using the Admiral Gorshkov warship that has the capability to host hypersonic Zircon missiles.

"Today, a trilateral naval exercise involving warships and support vessels of the Russian navy, the navy of the People's Liberation Army of China, and the navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran ended in the waters of the Arabian Sea near the port of Chabahar in Iran," the Northern Fleet said in its statement. 

The Iranian, Chinese, and Russian navies joined forces in the Gulf of Oman in an attempt to fortify security and cooperation. Named the "naval security belt combined war game 202," the drills were launched on March 15 and were intended to "deepen practical cooperation among the navies of participating countries," it added.
