China, Iran, and Russia to Hold Joint Naval Drills as U.S. Reportedly Scales Back European Exercises

In early to mid-March, the Chinese, Iranian, and Russian navies will conduct a joint exercise called Security Bond 2025 near the Iranian port of Chabahar, Orda reports, citing the Chinese Ministry of National Defence.
The drills will focus on maritime target strikes, inspections and detentions, damage control, and joint search-and-rescue operations.
The primary goal is strengthening military trust and enhancing practical cooperation among participating nations.
China will contribute to the exercise by deploying the 47th escort fleet, including the destroyer Baotou and the supply ship Gaoyouhu.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that The United States has notified its allies that it does not plan to participate in military exercises held in Europe beyond those already scheduled in 2025, according to EXPRESSEN.
The U.S. Department of Defense has not issued an official statement regarding this reported policy change.
