China is deepening strategic ties with Russia and Iran, highlighted by ‘Security Belt-2025’ naval drills in the Gulf of Oman this month.
China will host Russia and Iran for high-level nuclear talks in Beijing this week, chaired by Chinese foreign vice-minister Ma Zhaoxu, with Russian and Iranian deputy foreign ministers also attending. The meeting aims to discuss Iran's nuclear activities and regional security issues, amid deepening strategic ties between China, Russia, and Iran, including joint naval exercises. This occurs as US President Trump attempts to revive direct nuclear negotiations with Iran.
