Iran today risked inflaming relations with China by announcing the arrest of two Chinese nationals for allegedly spying on its military and nuclear facilities.
It is believed to be the first time any Chinese have been charged with espionage in the country. Oil-rich Iran has recently enjoyed good relations with China, which has resisted US-led attempts to impose harsher sanctions on Tehran for its nuclear programme.

"The Chinese nationals were detained while taking photos and recording videotape of a military complex in Arak city," Ali Reza Jamshidi, a spokesman for Iran's judiciary, said on state radio. "They entered Iran through Kish Island as tourists."

Same story being run now by the AP - Whatzzup? 
 
Perhaps the PLA boys were out of bounds and the Iranians got nervious, deciding to pick them up.  I mean they can't say they were lost - 435 miles away from where they should have been.

That's a supprise, one would think that with all the Chinese hardware getting into Iran, they would need some Chinese technicians, advicers and the following support groups that would allow the Chinese to be wondering around the Iranian military installations.

Poor Norinco salesmen?
