Officials said China has brokered purchases of F-14 spare parts for Iran's military. They said most of the components were obtained from surplus offered by the U.S. Defense Department.

I thought it was against the un sanctions for Iran to acquire these types of things. I could be wrong.

I also find it strange that these parts came from US military stocks. the movie "The Lord of War" comes to mind. maybe the gun runners of the world are gearing up for the next big war sure to happen.

couple this with the recent loss of internet communication, it seems a sure bet now.
