The naval forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation will conduct a joint naval exercise on Thursday in the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean to enhance maritime security and expand bilateral military cooperation.
The joint drill will be hosted by the First Naval Region of Iran’s Navy in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas.
A helicopter carrier belonging to the Navy of the Russian Federation has entered Iran’s southern waters as part of joint maritime cooperation and docked at the First Naval Region base of the Iranian Navy.
Rear Admiral Hassan Maqsoudlou, spokesperson for the exercise, said the primary objective of the drill is to promote maritime security and sustainable naval interactions in the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean.
He added that expanding joint maritime cooperation and strengthening coordination in the planning and execution of combined operations are among the key goals of the exercise.
Maqsoudlou noted that enhancing convergence and coordination in countering activities that threaten maritime safety—particularly the protection of commercial vessels and oil tankers, as well as combating maritime terrorism—will form a central focus of the drill.
He emphasized that the exercise is also designed to deepen friendly ties, increase regional cooperation with priority given to neighboring countries, and reinforce the role of regional states in ensuring maritime security and safe navigation.
The spokesperson said the drill, alongside other exercises conducted by Iran’s armed forces, reflects both countries’ attention to developments in the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean, underscoring their commitment to strengthening maritime cooperation, opposing unilateralism, and supporting secure maritime trade.
Captain First Rank Alexey Sergeev, commander of the Russian naval flotilla, expressed satisfaction with his presence in Bandar Abbas and thanked Iran for its hospitality.
Highlighting the close relations between the two sides, Sergeev said the current level of cooperation shows their ability to jointly manage and resolve maritime and coastal challenges.
He added that Russia is prepared to hold joint exercises in various regions, including specialized drills such as maritime counterterrorism operations carried out by vessels and boats from both navies.
The upcoming drill comes amid a sharp rise in threatening rhetoric from Washington and a massive US military buildup near and off the coast of Iran.
US President Donald Trump said the deployment was aimed at pressuring Tehran into negotiations, threatening that failure to reach a deal would trigger a military strike “far worse” than the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025.
Iran has repeatedly rejected threats and coercion, insisting that diplomacy cannot succeed under pressure or intimidation. It has said it is ready for talks if they are fair and based on mutual respect, while warning that any military attack by the US or its allies against Iranian interests would be met with a swift and decisive response.
Recent online posts have reignited debate over long-standing allegations related to Michael Jackson and his Neverland Ranch. A viral video circulating on TikTok suggests that the late pop star was deliberately targeted with allegations to divert attention from abuse at locations including Jeffrey Epstein’s private island. The claims have spread rapidly across social media and prompted renewed discussion of Jackson’s legacy and the role of misinformation online.

It was reported a couple of days ago, Indonesia is sending 8000 peace-keeping troops to Gaza. When they witness the horrendous destruction caused by Israel in the name of ‘self defence’ I’m sure they will be very angry at what has been done by the Zionist state to their fellow Muslim brothers and sisters…
Indonesia, including Bali will not be a place the IDF should visit for a holiday. I’m sure this is going to be the case in many other places of the world.
Amen.

Critics said the decision was rushed/ made without consulting the Indonesian public & the parliament + one that promoted US and Israeli interests.
A storm of criticism from within the country: “If it turns out that Indonesia decides to pay $US1 billion, of course/ it will be a burden for us & create shock among the public…..it would be “inconsistent” with the government’s domestic spending choices ”
((( The Green Hilton Agreement https://es.scribd.com/document/463618223/JFK-The-Green-Hilton-Agreement-Geneva-1963 to free the world from the grasp of the International Banksters.
In 1963 the Green Hilton Agreement was signed between President John F. Kennedy & President Sukarno of Indonesia to facilitate international trade by backing US dollars with gold reserves.
Under the agreement Sukarno would reposition gold reserves entrusted to Indonesia to provide fractional backing for US dollars and support expanding global commerce
Control of the gold assets would transfer to the US if Sukarno lost power/ which occurred in 1967/ but the potential for EO 11110 to empower the Treasury to issue currency was never realized after Kennedy’s assassination /
