The two Middle East countries, which have long backed opposing sides in conflict zones across the region, severed diplomatic ties in 2016.
However, Iran and Saudi Arabia resumed relations last year under a surprise China-brokered deal.
"The Royal Saudi Naval Forces had recently concluded a joint naval exercise with the Iranian Naval Forces alongside other countries in the Sea of Oman," said Brigadier General Turki al-Maliki.
It comes after the official Iranian news agency ISNA on Monday said the two countries were planning joint military drills in the Red Sea.
"Saudi Arabia has asked that we organise joint exercises in the Red Sea," the commander of Iran's navy, Admiral Shahram Irani, was quoted as saying by ISNA.
But on Wednesday Maliki said: "No other exercises are being addressed during this period of time."
Iranian state media on Sunday reported that Iran was part of a military drill in the northern Indian Ocean alongside Russia and Oman, as well as six observer countries including Saudi Arabia.
