    The joint naval drills will be held in the Persian Gulf in early 2022

Russia, Iran, and China will hold joint naval drills, the press office of Russia’s Pacific Fleet said on Tuesday.

The Russian embassy in Tehran said that the three countries will conduct drills in the Persian Gulf in early 2022. Several ships of the Pacific Fleet have anchored at Iran’s Chabahar Port.

"In the port, the official delegation of the Russian Navy will take part in a panned conference to hold a joint naval exercise of warships of Russia, Iran, and China," the fleet said.

Earlier, on October 19, 2021, the Japanese government announced that 10 naval ships sailed through the strait that separates Japan's mainland from its northern island, Hokkaido. The vessels reportedly belonged to Russia and China, which were closely monitored by Tokyo.
