Iran, China, and Russia are set to launch large-scale joint naval drills in the northern Indian Ocean in late February, signaling deepening military coordination amid sharply rising U.S.–Iran tensions. Reported by Iran’s Press TV, the exercises come as Tehran prepares live-fire drills in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy chokepoint carrying nearly 20% of the world’s oil. The drills follow the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group near Iran and firm warnings from U.S. Central Command against unsafe IRGC actions.

Amid growing speculation that the United States may launch a war in the near future, Iran has unveiled what it claims is a vast network of underwater missile tunnels, signalling a dramatic new layer to its deterrence strategy. Iranian officials asserted that these subsea missile tunnels are capable of housing hundreds of long‑range cruise missiles, suggesting that they could unleash sustained salvos against enemy targets far beyond their shores. Iranian state television even aired a guided tour of one such tunnel, with IRGC Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri personally walking cameras through the facility to showcase its capabilities.As the U.S. appears to be positioning itself for a possible conflict, Tehran may be using the Strait of Hormuz and its missile tunnel network as a powerful bargaining chip in any negotiations or standoff. Around one‑fifth of global oil trade is estimated to pass through the Strait of Hormuz every single day, making any disruption there a potential shock to the world economy. Meanwhile, on January 29, the U.S. president said that “very big, very powerful ships” were currently sailing toward Iran, in a clear attempt to project strength and deterrence.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has broken his silence on the US threat of military strikes on his country. In his series of social media posts, the Iranian supreme leader issued unusual threats to Donald Trump. The US president later responded to the Ayatollah’s threats by expressing his hopes for negotiations with Iran. Rifat Jawaid looks at the development as he raises questions on the legitimacy of the Nobel Peace Prize since another winner of this award has supported the military strikes on her own country.

China has issued one of its strongest geopolitical warnings in years, cautioning that any U.S. military action against Iran could plunge the Middle East—and beyond—into uncontrollable chaos. The warning comes as U.S. warships move closer to the region and tensions between Washington and Tehran reach their most volatile point in decades.
Iran has echoed the escalation, claiming it holds the upper hand in any confrontation and warning that strikes on Tehran or its supreme leader would trigger consequences beyond U.S. control. At the United Nations, China urged restraint, calling military action dangerous and warning it could push the region into an abyss of unpredictability.by Oneindia News

US President Donald Trump says Iran is ‘talking to us’ amid regional de-escalation efforts. Iran says no talks can happen under threat of military strike, though expresses willingness to dialogue. The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group is now in the Indian Ocean, putting it closer to assist in any potential US operations targeting Iran.
Iran has missiles are fast enough to threaten US warships, but not the sensors and precise satellite navigation needed to attack with pinpoint accuracy. Against a mobile aircraft carrier protected by layered defences, hypersonic speed alone is not enough to guarantee a decisive strike. But still for US the danger is real.
