While the fragility of the ceasefire along the US-Israel-Iran line is maintained, the world is focused on the critical talks expected to take place in Pakistan. It has been suggested that China is preparing moves towards Iran before the negotiations begin. Accordingly, it was stated that China is preparing to send air defense systems to Iran in the coming weeks.
It has been claimed that China is preparing to send air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks.
According to CNN, three sources familiar with current U.S. intelligence assessments, who were not named, claimed that China is ready to deliver air defense systems to Iran within a few weeks.
Two of the sources argued that there are signs that China is trying to route the shipments through third countries to "conceal the true origin."
"MANPADS, SHOULDER-FIRED MISSILE"
The sources suggested that China plans to send shoulder-fired air defense missile systems known as MANPADS to Iran in the mentioned shipment.
"DEFENSE CAPABILITIES ARE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING"
The report noted that the Iranian front has stated that it used a "new air defense system" in the retaliation, emphasizing that "they did not share information about the details of the system. This situation stands out as significant data indicating that Tehran is rapidly developing its defense capabilities."
CHINESE AMBASSADOR DENIED THE CLAIMS
The spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington denied the claims, stating, "China has not provided weapons to any party in the conflict; this information is not true."
The spokesperson also said, "As a responsible major country, China consistently fulfills its international obligations. We call on the U.S. side to refrain from making baseless claims, establishing connections with bad intentions, and sensationalizing news; we hope that the relevant parties will make more efforts to reduce tensions."
WHAT HAPPENED?
Following the attacks initiated by the U.S. and Israel on Iran on February 28, which turned into a war process with Iran's retaliations and attacks on some regional countries, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on April 8 at around 01:30 that he accepted a ceasefire.
Continuing the News
Trump stated that they accepted a two-week ceasefire on the condition of opening the Strait of Hormuz, that they received a ten-point proposal from Iran, and that this was a viable basis for negotiations.
The Israeli government, which declared its support for the temporary ceasefire between Iran and the U.S., continues its attacks on Lebanon, arguing that the agreement does not include the issue of Lebanon.
At least 1,888 people have lost their lives in the attacks carried out by Israel on Lebanon since March 2.
