Fars media of Iran just reported in Arabic on the Syrian media outlet ShamLife that Iran, Russia, China and Syria will hold the largest war games exercise in the Middle East in less than one month, meaning it will take place before July 19, 2012, most likely in the early part of the month.
90,000 soldiers will take part and will include air defense and missile units, ground, air and naval forces. 400 planes and 1,000 tanks will be involved including 12 Chinese warships, Russian atomic submarines and warships, aircraft carriers and mine-clearing destroyers along with Iranian battleships and submarines.
Egypt has agreed to allow 12 Chinese warships passage in the Suez Canal to the way to Syria. Then they will all arrive shortly in Syria.
However, Russia and Syria have now denied that there are such games planned. Hopefully it's just another dream of Iran. One would wonder why all those soldiers would be heading for Syria, of all places right now with them in the middle of their own Civil War unless it would be to stop the Syrian government somehow. This story just doesn't add up. If it did, it would amount to one huge nightmare.
