Want China Times: Russia and China selling Iran arms to stick it to US: Sina Military
China and Russia are looking to give Iran's armed forces a boost with fighter jets and defense systems as part of their strategy against the United States, reports the Beijing-based Sina Military Network.
With the US encouraging its allies to gang up on China in the West Pacific and NATO pushing on Russia in the Black Sea and the Barents Sea, the report said, Beijing and Moscow are striking back by investing their efforts in the Middle East and in particular Iran, a country that continues to be a tricky issue for Washington.
As part of this strategy, China is said to be aiming to provide Iran with a new fleet of advanced fighter jets, while Russia is considering selling Iran a new missile defense system.
WNU Editor: Quite a blunt way to put it .... "Sicking it to the U.S.". But I suspect making money and developing military ties is the real reason.
