Anyone heard anything about this yet and able to confirm it? If true, this could turn out to be huge.

Seeing that no other news source is picking this up, I will wait until we get true confirmation.

Consider the source - it’s hype and hogwash. The Chinese navy? Gimme a break. Maybe in 20 years time but not in 2007.
To: diverteach
Bluffing. IF true (which I doubt) they want to intimidate us not to touch their Iranian pawn. I’m not too sure anyone wants to start WW4.

Indeed. One can be sure they’re not going there to support the US, RAN and RN. It’s time to take out the Iranians. Big time.

The Russians have been saying that the U.S. will start bombing Iranian site this month, maybe they are moving in to help their side against us.

I can’t see any reason why they would both be doing it at the same time unless something (within hours) was about to go down.
I could be for an evacuation, or support, but it most certainly wouldn’t be to defend iran.
To: diverteach
I’m not finding any confirmation yet, but sure makes ya go ‘hmmmm...’

The Gulf is already maxed out with ships. Somebody’s going to have to move over.
To: UKrepublican
Iran seemed to be deliberately trying to bait the UK and possibly the US into some sort of fight with that hostage-taking. Wonder if they have something else up their sleeve.

Hard to say what’s up if anything but considering the weakness we’ve displayed in the face of every tin pot dictator in the world, belligerence on the part of Russia and China wouldn’t be a real surprise.
