Nikolai Patrushev, Assistant to the President of Russia and Chairman of the State Maritime Council announced that Iranian, Russian, and Chinese warships have been dispatched to the Strait of Hormuz to conduct the "Maritime Security Belt 2026" exercise.

The announcement from Russia comes as the IRGC has told the Iranian state news agency Fars that they will partially close the Strait of Hormuz for hours today for the "Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz" exercise currently being held. Traffic at this time appears normal.
