An interesting development.

Things which I would watch out for:

1. Will India carry out similar exercises with Vietnam? Not sure if it has already done so in the past.

2. Will there be a greater PLAN presence in the Indian Ocean? Gwadar, perhaps? Myanmar?

3. Will Iran join a China-Pakistan alliance in the Indian Ocean?
1. I find it unlikely currently.
2. yes, of course now that the area there is becoming more important for them.
3. I find that unlikely, Iran has not much interest with these nations except as business partners.
