LIVE | South Africa: Did China Invite Iran for BRICS Drills? | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: South Africa faces a deepening diplomatic crisis following the controversial inclusion of Iran in the “Will for Peace 2026” naval drills off the coast of Cape Town. Pretoria appears to be blindsided by the presence of the Iranian navy, with President Cyril Ramaphosa asserting that China managed the invitations. The incident has severely strained ties between Pretoria and Washington. The US Embassy condemned South Africa for Iran’s presence during the exercise amid Tehran’s violent crackdown on protests. Ramaphosa has established a Board of Inquiry to determine if his military command defied direct orders, marking the second instance in six months that the armed forces have allegedly bypassed the President regarding relations with Iran.
