🇨🇳🇮🇷 China is arming Iran mid-war, with up to 400 shoulder-fired missile launchers arriving within WEEKS
-Three sources say Iran signed a $60-70 million deal for 300 to 400 Chinese QW-12 and FN-16 MANPADS, shoulder-launched missiles built to kill low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and drones
-The route matters as much as the weapons: deliveries fly from Urumqi in western China, then transit through PAKISTAN to Iran, with overland routes explored to dodge disruption
-The middleman is a Hong Kong-based intermediary, Zhongqing Baoshang International Investment, giving Beijing its layer of distance
-The denials came fast: China’s Foreign Ministry calls the report “completely groundless,” and Pakistan’s military brands its role “absolutely concocted and false”
-The logic is exposed by the war itself: fixed air-defense batteries kept dying to American strikes, while MANPADS scatter among small teams and relocate constantly, nearly impossible to hunt
-Reuters previously reported Iran near a separate Chinese deal for anti-ship cruise missiles
Trump accepted Beijing’s assurances it wasn’t arming Tehran; his own Pentagon testified otherwise, and now the contract details are in print.
Hundreds of dispersed launchers won’t stop ballistic missiles or B-2s, but they raise the price of every low-altitude sortie and drone pass America flies.

Russian intelligence tracked a Kremlin defector inside a Miami apartment garage. South Florida is more than a sunny refuge. It’s a counterintelligence battleground where the FBI must protect Americans and foreign sources from Moscow’s reach. #FBI #USIntel cbsnews.com/news/does-putin-…
