DEADLIEST DESTROYER of Chinese PLA Navy (VIDEO) in Middle East to deter the US and Israel from an Attack on Iran. Another USS Aircraft Carrier in Persian Gulf
by Carlo Domenico Cristofori
«A number of sources have reported that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy has deployed a Type 055 class destroyer to lead a contingent for operations around the Gulf of Oman and northern Indian Ocean, including a smaller Type 052D class destroyer, and the Liaowang-1 maritime space-tracking and surveillance ship. At a time when the United States and several of its security partners in the Western world are considering launching an attack on Iran»
This is what the online newspaper Military Watch Magazine reported in these hours as well as the Russian website News-Pravda, specialized in military and intelligence news.
These reported deployments have fuelled speculation that the Liaowang-1 and accompanying destroyers may be in the region to monitor the movements of U.S. Navy and other Western warships, allowing intelligence to be passed onto Iran. The importance of Iran to Chinese security interests makes this highly possible. If confirmed, this would have the potential to help deter a Western attack, removing the element of surprise from strikes launched and likely enabling Iranian forces to conduct more effective retaliation if the U.S. proceeds to initiate hostilities.
The Type 055 destroyer also known as the Renhai-class cruiser by NATO reporting name is a class of stealth guided-missile destroyers constructed for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy.

The Type 055 destroyer is considered a top-of-the-line, large, multi-mission surface combatant by many, including the US Navy, who classify it as a cruiser. It’s designed to excel in area air defense, anti-submarine warfare, and blue-water expeditionary missions, also serving as a primary escort for Chinese aircraft carriers.
World’s Deadliest Warship Appears Off Iran’s Coast
«As Western powers weigh strikes on Tehran, the People Liberation Army Navy has quietly positioned a Type 055 destroyer, widely considered the most capable surface combatant on earth, off the Gulf of Oman. It sails with a Type 052D and the Liaowang-1, a space-tracking vessel built to see what navies prefer hidden» News Pravda wrote.
The Type 055 integrates dual-band radar the US intended but failed to field on Zumwalt. Over-the-horizon tracking. Persistent surveillance. The kind of sensor fusion that turns Iranian missileers from shooters into snipers.
Days before the deployment, Chinese reconnaissance satellites imaged newly installed US THAAD batteries in Jordan, and Beijing released the footage publicly.
History casts its own shadow. In 1999, NATO aircraft bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade after it relayed Yugoslav communications. No Western commander will lightly attempt that against a Type 055 with layered defensive systems and eight sister ships in the pipeline.
This would not be unprecedented. During Indo-Pak hostilities last May, Chinese satellite support gave Pakistani forces decisive battlefield advantage. Unconfirmed reports suggest BeiDou ground stations may already be operational inside Iran.
For Tehran, the implication is straightforward. Its ballistic arsenal already fields multi-warhead and hypersonic systems. Fused with Chinese battlespace intelligence, that arsenal becomes more lethal, and Western targeting assumptions become exponentially less certain.
U.S. is transferring another aircraft carrier to the Middle East and has Deployed A-10 Warthog aircraft
The United States is transferring an aircraft carrier to the Middle East, which participated in the capture of Maduro, writes NYT.
The U.S. Gerald R. Ford and accompanying ships will join the U.S. Abraham Lincoln carrier strike Group in the Persian Gulf. This is happening as part of Washington’s pressure on Tehran.
The United States has also deployed A-10 Warthog aircraft near Iran in a move that is raising serious geopolitical questions.
In this video, we break down the tactical analysis behind the deployment of the A-10 Thunderbolt II alongside Littoral Combat Ships operating in the Arabian Gulf. Why is the US sending the A-10 Thunderbolt to counter small boat swarm tactics?
What message does this send in the context of rising tensions between Washington and Tehran? And how does this fit into broader geopolitics in the Strait of Hormuz? We analyze the role of the Warthog, its weapons systems, capabilities against fast attack craft, and why the A-10 Thunderbolt II remains relevant in modern warfare despite retirement plans. We also examine the USS Santa Barbara’s mine-hunting mission, recent naval incidents, and the growing US Navy presence near Iran.
China confirmed its heavy energy dependence on Iran
In 2025, China confirmed its heavy energy dependence on Iran, importing over 80% of Tehran’s crude oil exports, with daily averages peaking at 1.8 million barrels in June. This oil, purchased at discounted prices, accounts for approximately 13-14% of China’s needs.
For this reason, it cannot be allowed that the madness of the American president Donald Trump, accused of dementia by many newspapers around the world, and the murderous instinct of the genocidal Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel hit by an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court in The Hague for war crimes in Palestine, can undermine the stability of the country as they attempted to do with the failed armed revolution of the counter-psionages of MOSSAD (Israel) and CIA (USA) in the month of January.
