The commander of Iran's navy has warned that the U.S. has no business in Middle Eastern waters after his forces held joint naval drills with Russia and China.
Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi told reporters Sunday that the four-day exercise in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Oman—dubbed "Marine Security Belt"—was a signal to U.S. forces operating in the region.
"Today, the era of American free action in the region is over," Khanzadi said, according to the Iranian Tasnim news agency. "They must leave the region gradually," he added.
