Iran Press/Iran news: Quoting the remarks by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, he tweeted, "The fact is that in the current transitional era, not everything happens in, nor by the West."
Iranian, Chinese and Russian maritime units launched the four-day joint military drills on Friday in the Oman Sea, north of Indian Ocean codenamed "Marine Security Belt".
The maneuver is the first such initiative since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran which toppled the US protégé regime of Shah.
It comes amid US regime's efforts to woo countries into a maritime coalition for patrolling in the Persian Gulf, which received a less-than-savory response from its allies.
Iran has stated its readiness to work with its neighboring countries to secure the Persian Gulf airing the regional initiative HOPE (Hormuz Peace Endeavor), Zarif wrote in a Twitter message referring to the joint wargames.
"We are truly living in a post-Wester world in which all global players have their share in its reality," Mousavi added.
