WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / May 11, 2023 / In March, Russia announced that it, together with China and Iran, was conducting joint naval exercises in the Gulf of Oman. This is one of many recent events connecting these three states, and their growing alliance has major implications for the U.S.
MEMRI's Russian Media Studies Project (RMSP), launched in 2016, is closely monitoring this and other developments in the region, providing an invaluable window to understanding it. Since Russia invaded Ukraine last February, the project's output has increased by orders of magnitude in order to keep up with the rapid pace of events and of official and media statements on them - and to analyze what they mean for the U.S. and the rest of the West.
The MEMRI RMSP publishes up-to-the-minute translations and analyses of statements and trends in Russian politics, diplomacy, think tanks, military, and media These, along with MEMRI's translations from Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Urdu, Pashto, and Chinese and original MEMRI analysis, are aimed at informing media, academia, legislatures, governments, and the public at large. No one else does the work that we do. Register today for a free subscription to RMSP emails to follow the latest developments in Russia.
