The Iranian Navy is hosting the IONS Maritime Exercise (IMEX) 2024, which includes military forces from the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, the Iranian Police’s Coastguard, Russia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, Pakistan, Qatar and Bangladesh.
Rear Admiral Mostafa Tajeddini, the spokesperson for the exercise, stated that the naval forces practice a range of operations in the drill, including maritime firefighting, search operations, and oil spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (SPCC).
The theme of the drill is “Together for A Safe and Secure Indian Ocean”.
