M-25 Manchurian Delegate
by Shadow

TIME: DEC 15, 2019, 1000L launch.
WEATHER: High clouds, 15K base. East surface wind @ 15, wind aloft @ 22
LOCATION: Persian Gulf

MISSION:
Two flights of the VFA-41 Black Aces will escort passenger air liners to provide security for the negotiation delegations. Both sides have agreed the escort flights be only 4 aircraft. Four IRIAF Mig 29's will escort the Iran delegation in a AN-30M to Fujairah Intl and return to IRAN when the AN-30M has landed. Four USN F/A 18's will escort the NATO delegation in a AN-26B to Bandar Abbas Intl, IRAN and RTB when it has landed. Due to fear of local commander reprisal, the IRAN delegation has requested four USN fighter aircraft also escort their Russian An-30M to Fujairah Intl. in conjunction with the IRIAF Mig 29's. Both delegations will take off when the USN escort F/A-18's arrive near Bandar Abbas Intl. (WP#4). USN military aircraft will not enter IRAN SAM protected airspace. The Strait of Hormuz is narrow and will likely be a little crowded with all parties staying in International Air Space. ROE: Weapons free if fired upon or aggressive hostile intent, but only for the aggressive units. The IRAN An-30M and Mig-29 escorts will IFF hostile. Mission length = 450 nm


Dealer 1 Escort
Dealer 2 Escort
Dealer 3 CAP

SITUATION:
A conservative faction of the IRAN government has offered to enter into negotiations without IRAN military leadership present. They will send a delegation to meet with NATO officials at Fujairah Intl AP, UAE. But they fear for their safety and stipulate a delegation from NATO also meet with their associates in Bandar Abbas Intl, IRAN at the same time. Cooperative and compromising negotiations would then be ongoing at both locations without the influence of the hard line military. The IRAN faction has already been labeled "traitors" by some IRAN military commanders. Security will have to be tight. Central Command has ordered the USS Stennis Strike Group to provide escort for both delegation flights. The IRIAF will also escort the IRAN delegation from Bandar Abbas Intl, IRAN to Fujairah Intl, UAE.
