As Tensions Soar, Iran and Russia Launch Naval Drills in a High-Stakes Triangle of Maritime...

This could turn into something very serious.

It is a wonder the two can find enough functioning ships to conduct any naval drills.

So, let's see; Russian Black Sea fleet has been decimated by Ukraine and Iran is such a military maritime powerhouse. I suppose some drones launched from cigarette boats could be a disturbance. SovietUnion/Russia has long coveted Iran's warm water ports, to the point that there were war plans to counter an invasion of Iran to get them. This is probably a ploy to gain access to those ports rather than any significant increase in maritime military power.
