China, Russia, and Iran showcased military prowess with live-fire exercises in the Gulf of Oman, involving over 20 ships. Aimed at enhancing maritime cooperation, China contributed a guided-missile destroyer and frigate, Russia sent the cruiser Varyag, and Iran deployed frigates and fast-attack boats.
