U.S. Intel Suspects China Is Secretly Routing Weapons to Iran
By M Dowling -April 12, 20260 Comments

U.S. intelligence officials believe China may be attempting to route weapons shipments to Iran through third countries to conceal their origin. CNN reports that the delivery systems may include shoulder-fired anti-air missiles, known as MANPADS, which pose a serious threat to low-flying aircraft.
 
China and Russia benefit from prolonging the war, especially given the limited domestic support and lack of NATO backing. Midterms are approaching, and they want Donald Trump enfeebled.


MANPADS are portable, shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles designed to target low-flying aircraft and helicopters. They are heat-seeking and extremely accurate. It would be very easy to ship these and would threaten U.S. air superiority over Iran. There is also the possibility that Iran makes them.
