Russia, China, Iran plan to stage in Syria “biggest Mid East maneuver”

[Littlejoe]

Middle East military tensions around Syria shot up again Monday, June 18, with the news reported by the semi-official Iranian news agency Fars that a joint Russian-Chinese-Iranian exercise is to take place in Syria.

It was described as “the biggest of its kind ever staged in the Middle East” with 90,000 personnel, 400 air planes and 900 tanks taking part.
As part of its preparations, Beijing is reported to have asked Egyptian authorities to permit the passage through the Suez Canal in late June of 12 naval ships heading for the Syrian port of Tartus, where Moscow maintains a naval and marine base. debkafile reported earlier this week that Russian naval vessels with marines on board were heading for Tartus. The Iranian media did not itemize their contribution to the joint exercise.

debkafile stresses that this would be the first time that substantial Russian and Chinese military strength has ever been deployed in Syria or anywhere else in the Middle East.

A large-scale Russian and Chinese military presence in the embattled country would expect to deter the United States from leading a military operation against Bashar Assad and his regime.
No date was attached to the report but the exercise may possibly take place before the end of the month

debkafile also notes that the big joint Russian-Chinese-Iranian exercise “at sea, air and land on Syrian soil,” ws released for publication shortly before US President Barack Obama was due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit in Mexico.

Heres another article that has an IDF spokesman replying to this,very intriguing,John Bolton also made mention of this report on FOX News this morning..I guess we will have to keep watch,especially when CZAR Putin is to visit Israel at the time these war manuevers are to take place.....

Syria, Iran, Russia and China plan joint war games, Iranian news agency reports | The Times of Israel

According to the article, the four countries are preparing 90,000 troops, 400 aircraft and 1,000 tanks for the massive joint maneuvers, which are to take place along the Syrian coast within a month.

The report states that Russian “atomic submarines and warships, aircraft carriers and mine-clearing destroyers as well as Iranian battleships and submarines will also arrive in Syria” and that Egypt has agreed to let 12 Chinese warships cross the Suez Canal for the exercises.

The IDF spokesman’s office called the report a “political matter” and declined to comment.

Could this be the "hook in the jaws"?.......


All of the above are to arrive shortly in Syria, according to the report.

Russia has angered the United States by continuing to arm Syria despite the Syrian government’s violent suppression of a popular uprising in recent months. Some have alleged that Moscow is attempting to keep Assad in power in order to avoid revealing Russian war crimes.

Will this indeed be an exercise? The Gog/Magog players will be in place. I'm not one to hit the panic button, but I'm looking at it. If this goes hot, be ready, because it may be the last ministry opportunity we'll get before the rapture...

For the lurkers out there reading this, here it is in plain English. Ezekiel 38 prophecies that Israel will be attacked by an overwhelming military force. As a result of this, God will supernaturally protect them, and Israel will come out victorious, having suffered no losses. If you see these things come to pass, and you aren't saved, you will want to re-consider your worldview, and your standing with Jesus.

If it turns out this is not simply an exercise, we may be out of here really soon...

Somebody's jaw is hooked, but at this time it ain't Gog of Magog's jaw with a hook in it, that's for sure.

Study your Bible, engage in critical discernment, observe Biblical hermeneutics as instructed by 2 Timothy 2:15.

DO NOT allow yourself to be led around by bogus media reports, especially "news" that comes directly from the liar-liar-pants-on-fire Iranian regime.

Common sense.

Myself ,i will let it play out!!!..We may not know anything,until after it blows..I just find it hard not to pay attention to Joel Rosenberg,who was a Netanyahu advisor a very important Person worldwide with contacts ,crediable.And Arutz 7,Jerusalem post.
Who would report anything but facts..We will just have to sit back and watch..One things for sure,it won't be long before it explodes..

Joel Rosenberg has done what all of the media has done in this case - they have all repeated verbatim an uncorroborated report from the semi-official Iran-based Fars News Agency. The Fars report also clearly states that neither Russia, China, Iran or Syria have confirmed that any such exercise will take place.

Not only are people all over the planet decieved by such disinformation, but even the media are decieved by other media. Nobody bothers to do due diligent research and confirm if information is true or even accurate; they just accept the garbage at face value and parrot what the media says about it.

This is the second time in a month such nonsense has gone unchecked. Last month Russian SPETZNAZ were supposedly going to take over Denver Airport and several other key locations in the western USA. All a bunch of garbage that a lot of people also swallowed hook, line and sinker because conspiracy nutcases had a field day with it.

Common sense rules.

In my case, the story didn't come from Debka, but from "The Times of Israel", and indirectly, from the top headline on the Drudge Report yesterday.

Syria, Iran, Russia and China plan joint war games, Iranian news agency says | The Times of Israel

You would think if something makes the top headline on the Drudge Report, there might actually be something to it. If there is indeed nothing to it, then oh well. But if there is something to it, it could get interesting really quick.

In my case, the story didn't come from Debka, but from "The Times of Israel", and indirectly, from the top headline on the Drudge Report yesterday.

In this case it is completely irrelevant which Western news organization carried this report, be it DEBKA, Jerusalem Post, Drudge Report, Joel Rosenberg's FLASH TRAFFIC, you name it, the bottom line is that this report originated in IRAN with the IRANIAN GOVERNMENT FUNDED Fars News Agency and all of these western news agencies were just repeating the Iranian government's DISINFORMATION word for word.

Today Syria also denied the report!.....

“This information is out of synch with reality,” Assad spokeswoman
Buseina Shaaban said on June 19. “Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Russia ,Syria have all denied this report..I will say this if we start seeing movement With China and Russian ships,troops in the next 10-15 days we will know where this is going,if true i don't think it will be a manuever...

[Sean Osborne]

Today Syria also denied the report!.....

No kididng. It was a no-brainer; a common sense non-event from the get-go. Disinformation IS false information, and it is easily identifiable to the trained professional analyst.

#1 - The war of Gog & Magog does not involve China...China is believed to be involved in the Armageddon War however...

#2 -Preceding the Gog/Magog war, Israel is described as at peace and unsuspecting of invasion or attack, which is certainly not the case right now...

#3 - The main motivation for "GOG" to invade Israel is to plunder Israel... I don't believe this would be a motivating factor at this time...

Its all rumours of war... dont be alarmed ....
