South Africa hosts joint naval exercises of the BRICS nations, with multiple countries participating to address maritime security challenges.

Foreign Media: South Africa hosts the BRICS joint naval exercises, with participation from China, Russia, Iran, and other countries, while India and Brazil did not participate.

The exercise is named "Peace Will 2026," aimed at addressing global maritime tensions, including rescue and maritime strike drills. The United States and South Africa have tense relations, and the Trump administration once threatened to impose tariffs on BRICS members.

India chose to withdraw, as it did not want to be involved in military exercises during the tension between the US and India. South Africa's relations with the United States have also deteriorated due to issues such as support for Palestine, and this exercise may further intensify the U.S.-South Africa conflict.
