Newsweek: Russia Condemns U.S. 'Provocation' of Iran As 'Absolutely Unacceptable' As Nations Build Front Against Trump

The foreign ministers of Russia and Iran have met in Moscow in a show of solidarity against what Moscow termed "unacceptable" American provocation over the Iran nuclear deal, which remains at risk of collapse.

Javad Zarif traveled to meet Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on Monday, as the two leaders sought to breathe life into the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action—otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal—in the face of continued U.S. sanctions on Iran, state news agency Tass reported.

President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the JCPOA in May 2018, arguing the agreement was too lenient on Iran.

Shouldn't be much if an exercise. The Iranian navy's about the same size as the British navy.

Well,conducting joint naval exercises is their right.That's just laughable. How is it possible to make coordination between two navy so different?...small boats with missile cruiser?

Training with the infidels!!! I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
Russia seems to be worried. They no longer have any leverage with the exit of the empty suit and his cadaverous sidekick, Johnny K. This is a sham designed for the newspapers and a risk for the players involved if they think these exercises will increase compatibility between the two navies. An aqueous Potemkin Village.

You are pretty right! Russian are a lot infidels. I find that a little bit funny: Iran is ready to do anything for surviving, that's it.
