Iran, Syria, Russia, China Plan Massive War Games

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Iran, Syria, Russia, and China will take part in the "biggest-ever war games in the Middle East," Iran's semi-official FARS News Agency reported Tuesday.

According to the report, 90,000 troops, 1,000 tanks, 400 aircraft, warships, submarines, destroyers, and minesweepers will rendezvous along the coast of Syria within a month for the massive exercise.

Egypt has given China permission to send 12 warships through the Suez Canal, which reportedly will dock at Syrian ports over the next two weeks.

The announcement comes on the second day of meetings between Iran and the P5+1 -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany -- in Moscow.

Both Russia and China have vetoed military intervention in Syria and additional economic sanctions against Iran at the U.N. Security Council.

Tuesday's announcement also comes on the heels of Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement that he will visit Israel on June 25.
