Bahrain and Kuwait are expected to take part along with France and Britain and South Korea as observer nations.
The Navy refers to some of these types of exercises as VBSS (visit, board, search and seizure) operations.
Doing this in Iran's front yard is sending an obvious message, even though the Security Council has yet to agree on anything...stay tuned.
