Russia, China and Iran come together for naval drills in ‘Operation Maritime Security Belt 2025’ as Axis alliance continues to grow and gain power

Five years ago, on January 1 2020, our very first article of that incredible year was about the first-ever joint military alliance between Russia, China and Iran, that’s how 2020 started. The operation was called the ‘Marine Security Belt’. Yesterday, Russia, China and Iran kicked off ‘Operation Maritime Security Belt 2025’, whose aim is to increase coordination between Russia and China to defend and protect Iran. Today is Day 1,821 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and the needle remains pinned at the top of the end times meter. That’s the memo.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 (KJB)

As sure as I’m sitting here writing this, and you sitting there reading it, we are headed for WWIII like a bullet, with all the key factors needed for such an event present and accounted for. WWI prepared the land for the Jews, WWII prepared the Jews for the land, and WWIII will prepare them for the time of Jacob’s trouble. Buckle up, Christian, and let’s work to put a few more souls in  the seats on Flight #777 while we still can. TO THE FLIGHT!!!

Russia, China and Iran combine military muscle for ‘Operation Maritime Security Belt 2025’

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Iran’s navy is taking part in a three-day drill with Russia and China. Iranian media said that the Iranian navy had successfully executed the second day of the joint drill. “The three-day naval drills, codenamed the 2025 Maritime Security Belt, kicked off Monday in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Oman,” the report said.

“Rear Admiral Mostafa Tajeddini, deputy operations commander of the Iranian Navy, said on Tuesday that aerial photography exercises and tactical formations were successfully conducted during the joint maritime drill,” IRNA added.

Iran says that its navy is “committed to establishing security both regionally and globally, adding that the Navy will not allow any threats or incursions into the nation’s maritime borders.” Iran doesn’t have a very large navy. The importance is largely related to coordination with China and Russia.

Meanwhile, Iranian Rear Admiral Shahram Irani slammed Trump in comments on March 11. He claimed that Trump had said that the US was not concerned about joint drills. “He said that the participation of three countries in the military exercise, titled Security Belt 2025, is focused on fostering security, contrasting it with the presence of countries like the United States, which consistently contributed to global instability,” IRNA noted. He also praised the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS, of which Iran is a member.

Russia ties are important. Iran provides Moscow with drones. Iran and Russia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to produce microelectronic components, Iran’s state media said. “Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade signed the agreement with the Nano and Micro Technology Development Headquarters, a division of the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and the Knowledge-Based Economy, on Tuesday, the Moscow-based Kommersant newspaper reported.” The report adds that the Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center (ZNTC), “one of Russia’s leading firms in nanotechnology,” will to produce advanced nanolithography equipment, telecommunication multiplexers, and automotive sensors.

The naval drills come as Iran seeks to project power in the region. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said, “Iran is determined to fulfill its obligation to the Iraqi administration in thwarting unlawful actions by the United States.” In addition, the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) said it has “dispatched 500 tons of humanitarian aid to Lebanon, according to Babak Mahmoud, the head of the IRCS Aid and Relief Organization.” This shows Iran shoring up support in Iraq and Lebanon.

Iran also said on March 11 that it has not received a letter from US President Donald Trump, “days after he claimed to have sent such a letter to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei,” IRNA noted. READ MORE

“Finger On Trigger” Iran Warns US Amid “Security Belt-2025” Naval Drills With China, Russia

Iran, China, and Russia have launched their annual Security Belt-2025 naval drills in the Gulf of Oman, reinforcing military ties amid shifting global alliances under US President Donald Trump. The exercises, involving warships, helicopters, and support vessels, are strategically significant as they take place near the vital Strait of Hormuz, through which a quarter of the world’s oil shipments pass. While Trump dismissed concerns over the joint drills, asserting US military superiority, analysts view them as a sign of growing coordination among authoritarian states seeking to counterbalance Washington’s influence. With tensions escalating between the US and Iran—especially as Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign intensifies—Iranian military officials have warned they are fully prepared for any confrontation. The presence of international observers from multiple countries highlights the broader geopolitical impact of these exercises, as Iran, China, and Russia showcase their ability to secure key maritime routes.
