🇨🇳🇵🇰🇮🇷 Iran’s restocking on Chinese missiles and Beijing is playing dumb
Reuters says Iran is days away from its first batch of up to 400 Chinese shoulder-fired air-defense launchers, a $60 to $70 million deal for the portable missiles built to drop low-flying jets, helicopters, and drones.
Beijing calls it false and says it only works for peace. Pakistan, tagged as the transit route, swears its territory has nothing to do with it.
Three separate sources laid the deal out to Reuters, and U.S. intelligence already caught China prepping air-defense shipments to Iran back in the spring.
That’s a lot of smoke for everyone to keep insisting there’s no fire.
