Last month, visitors to Bandar Abbas on Irans southern coast gathered towitness a never-seen-before event: two Chinese warships pulling into port.
It could be just the start of a budding naval alliance stretching from the Pacific to the Persian Gulf.
Iranian and Chinese commanders last week announced plans for greater maritime cooperation. While the details are vague, it clearly touches ambitions on both sides: Expanding the reach of their warships into faraway seas and new ports of call. And, at the same time, giving a jab at the United States and its preeminent naval power.
For China, the Iranian naval alliance offers a convenient way-station for Beijings widening outreach in Africa, andanother bonding moment in the largely transactional ties between China and Iran. China needs Irans oil and gas, and Iran is happy to oblige to help offset Western-led sanctions over Tehrans nuclear program.
A deepening Chinese-Iranian naval partnership also could be an extra win for Tehran. Iran often boasts about plans to modernize its fleet, but it remains limited to several diesel-electric submarines and a handful of frigate-class vessels, according to the U.S. Naval Institute. Chinese expertise could help fast-track some ofIran's goals, including integration of surveillance and attack drones onto its warships.
But no one is really talking about what could come. Few specifics emerged after Thursdays meeting in Beijing between the chief of Irans navy, Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari, and his Chinese counterpart, Adm. Wu Shengli. Agreements were made to further pragmatic cooperation and strengthen military-to-military ties, Chinas state-run Xinhua news agency reported without elaboration.
Both Iran and China have made it clear they seek to expand their so-called blue water navies capable of long-range voyages in the open sea. The motives, however,are somewhat different. China is a rising naval power and hopes one day to muscle out the U.S. Navy presence in Asia. Iran seeks to use its much more modest navy to remind Washington its influence does not extend into international waters.
Last year, an Iranian destroyer and helicopter carrier docked at the Chinese port city of Zhangjiagang near Shanghai after a 40-day voyage. In early 2011, two Iranian navy vessels passed through the Suez Canaland into the Mediterranean for the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, raising alarm from arch-foe Israel.

WorldViews: Iran and China deepen a blue water friendship
TEHRAN, Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Iran reiterated Monday that it does not anticipate extending the Nov. 24 deadline to negotiate a comprehensive nuclear agreement.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, speaking to European diplomats in Tehran, went so far as to say that he expected an agreement would be reached ahead of the Nov. 24 deadline if all sides are determined to do so.
That optimism contrasted markedly with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi's assessment last week that "there is no good prospect for the conclusion of the talks by the deadline."
For more than a year, delegates from the P5+1 -- five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States) plus Germany -- have held talks concerning Iran's nuclear program. Delegates are seeking concrete assurances from Iran that the country's nuclear program will be used exclusively for peaceful purposes.
Zarif, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, toured Natanz and Fordo nuclear facilities in central Iran on Monday, where he asserted that Iran would continue a peaceful nuclear program.
"We're pushing a solution that would allow the international community to have clear insight into Iran's ability to resolve everybody's concerns about their nuclear program," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said last week.
"In terms of the details of that agreement, I'm not going to get into that from here," Earnest said from the White House. "This is something that obviously is being discussed in a very detailed fashion by the United States and our P5-plus-1 partners and the representatives of Iran."
The U.S. also maintains it will not seek an extension to the deadline.
