Beijing Prepares Shipment Amid Fragile Ceasefire and Upcoming Trump Visit
According to US intelligence, China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks, despite denying any involvement in the conflict. The systems in question are shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs, which pose a significant threat to low-flying US military aircraft. This development comes as President Donald Trump is set to visit China for talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, and amid a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the US. The move could escalate China’s support for Iran and challenge US influence in the region, as reported by CNN.
