Fauxtography from Iran.

See-Dubya is running a post this morning pointing out that an Iranian film claiming to show Iranâ€™s capability to stop shipping in the Persian Gulf is actually a Chinese film of the Chinese military.

See Dubya via Junkyardblog: Oooh, donâ€˜t mess with us, they threatened by implication. If America gets fresh, we can hit your oil tankers in the Straits of Hormuz from our subs and bring the world to a standstill.
But what they ran was actually Chinese footage of a Chinese submarine testing a Chinese missile in China.

Iran probably does have some of this capability. But I doubt the Chinese are silly enough to provide them with their best systems. They have an interest in keeping the Gulf open to shipping as well. A youtube video of the test was available but has been removed.

Here is the orginal FOXNEWS report.

Exclusive footage of Iran's newest missile.

1 Same pic Hezbollah claimed was an Israeli warship hit with a Hezbollah missile. Makes sense Iran would use the same fake image. It was their weapon Hezbollah ahem.... used to blow up the Israeli ship.

2 Hey Howie--

Sorry, like SeeMonk said that's the Hezbo-Israeli picture, not the Iran missile test. Since I couldn't find a YouTube, I just thought I'd show that pic again as an example of Iranain duplicity...its source was a pro-hezbo site i nIran.

So the caption should be "A Not Israeli ship".

I did some youtube surfing too. There are lots of videos to dig through. I'm looking for examples to compare. I got your point, I'm kind of intuitive at times, some others may not have. I could have done a better job on the caption. Nothing to be sorry for See-Dubya. I had the same problem finding the videos. Strange they all dissappeared like that once it became more well known. Gives me a suspicion there is something to it.

4 Isn't that the pic of a decommissioned Australian ship that was sunk by the Australian subs? Hezbollah used it and said it was the Israeli ship.
