US intelligence reports suggest China is preparing to supply air defense weapons to Ir@n, potentially within weeks, raising tensions despite a fragile ceasefire with the United States and Isr@el.
The systems, believed to be shoulder-fired missiles (MANPADS), could pose a serious threat to low-flying aircraft if conflict resumes. Sources say China may route shipments through third countries to conceal their origin.
Donald Trump warned Beijing of “serious consequences,” while China denied the claims, calling them baseless and reaffirming its role in supporting ceasefire efforts.
The development highlights concerns that Ir@n may be using the truce to rebuild its military capabilities, while China seeks to balance its strategic ties with Ir@n and maintain global neutrality.
