China may provide Iran with new air defense systems
The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is once again on the verge of escalation. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
US intelligence services speculate that China may deliver new air defense systems to the state of Iran in the coming weeks. This was reported by CNN, citing three sources familiar with the situation.
According to experts, this specifically concerns mobile air defense systems that pose a significant threat to aircraft flying at low altitudes. Such weaponry is considered a serious threat to military aviation.
It is said that China may carry out the supply through third-party countries to hide its tracks during the delivery process. This would make the potential deal more complex and clandestine.
If this information is confirmed, it would signify the beginning of a new stage in military-technical cooperation between China and Iran. Until now, Chinese companies have mostly been limited to supplying technologies that can be used equally in both civilian and military sectors.
The direct sale of air defense systems is considered a sharp change against the backdrop of international sanctions. This situation could negatively impact the balance of power in the region and cause serious concerns within the international community.
So far, official Beijing has not provided any comment regarding these reports. International observers are closely monitoring the development of the situation.
