On Wednesday, Barack Obama made a weak plea for support to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement with Iran. He even went so far as to castigate opponents of this foreign policy faux pas as equal to Iran’s maniacal Islamists. Obama states the only alternative to accepting his deal is war.
Well, we already reported Russia’s looking to sell Iran a fleet of aerial refueling tankers. Now, there’s another report about an Iranian weapons purchase — and the report is not coming from our media.
As reported by the Jerusalem Post:
Iran is beginning to reap the fruits of its nuclear deal with the world powers.
According to a report in the Taiwanese press, China is set to provide the Islamic Republic with 24 J-10 fighter jets.
In exchange, Iran will permit China access to its largest oilfield for the next 20 years. The total estimated value of the deal is $1 billion.
The J-10, which is known by the moniker “Vigorous Dragon,” is an advanced combat aircraft which foreign sources say is based on the original designs of the Lavi, the Israeli prototype whose manufacturing was canceled in the 1980s.
The Lavi was built and developed by Israel Aircraft Industries, though the government eventually decided to terminate the program due to the high costs of production and after the US offered to sell Israel F-16s as an alternative. After the cancellation, the Israeli government resolved to sell the plans to China.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
24 would only be good for kamakazi attacks, or as missile launch platforms before they do the full Islamikazi
Israel has sold sensitive military equipment to China on a number of occasions. I never understood how or why they would do this. And now it's going to come back and bite them just as sure as everyone knew when such deals were announced.
On, thank you.
They better start the War in a few months to keep the Obamanoid in office..
I could easily see Obama declaring Martial Law.. over visions of WWIII...
I agree. They should not have sold it to China, but I doubt very much that their product is half of what Israel produced, and they abandoned it years ago.
Oh, wait a minute, Big Ears has paved the way.
And .. consider this:
As usual; some small attack will present itself upon Israel. When that happens, of course (as expected) Israel will retaliate.
At that point, Russia, China, and all the Arab countries will join together and head for Israel - to get rid of her forever.
But God (don’t you love God’s buts ..??) But what they don’t know is that God will be waiting for them.
Don’t worry, America will not be involved.
And .. this is not going to happen in the next 24.
This and Gen. Soleimani going to Russia has to make you wonder. Thanks for posting this, I always like to hear what West has to say.
Well, the key to what I said is this: They MUST wait for Israel to attack them first .. otherwise the game is not on their side.
And soretoro left on vacay a day early so won’t be available for comment.
I believe the J-10s are so obsolete that they are just targets ... I could be wrong. Now If Iran bought SU-30MKIs that would be a problem.
Israelies wouldn’t sell plans to china unless hey had he confidence that they could destroy them
