MIDDLEEAST TYCOON NEWS DESK:The primary phase of the exercise, named “AZIREX2024” with the motto “Collaboration for Peace and Friendship,” is scheduled for Tuesday and will involve both Iranian and Azerbaijani naval forces. The drill will be conducted by the Iranian northern fleet.
The objective of the exercise is to enhance enduring collective security and its foundations in the region, while fostering multilateral cooperation among the participating nations. It will also act as a venue to showcase the goodwill and capabilities of the involved countries in advancing peace, friendship, and maritime security.
Last month, Iran also conducted a joint naval drill with several members of the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS). The exercise, held in Iran’s southern waters, included participation from Russia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, Pakistan, Qatar, and Bangladesh.
This event provided Iran an opportunity to display its naval strengths and strengthen its relationships with countries committed to the safety and security of the Indian Ocean.
