Allegations that China is preparing to send air defense systems to Iran, which are claimed to be capable of changing the course of the war, have created an agenda. Following reports based on US intelligence, the Beijing administration rejected the accusations as "completely fabricated." China argued that it adheres to international rules in military exports.
China has firmly denied allegations that it provided weapons to Iran. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that the reports in question were "completely fabricated" and strongly reacted to accusations against the Beijing administration.
US INTELLIGENCE HAD BROUGHT IT TO THE AGENDA
The allegations came to the agenda after US intelligence suggested that China is preparing to send air defense systems to Iran in the coming weeks. These assessments, based on CNN, claimed that shipments could be made secretly through third countries.
US President Donald Trump also warned China following these allegations, stating that such a step would have "serious consequences."
"RESPONSIBLE AND CONTROLLED EXPORT POLICY"
The Beijing administration, denying all accusations, emphasized that it follows a "cautious and responsible" policy in military exports. Chinese officials stated that arms sales are subject to strict control within the framework of both national laws and international obligations.
Guo Jiakun rejected the allegations with strong words, saying, "We oppose baseless slander and malicious associations."
A NEW HEADLINE OF TENSION
Allegations of military cooperation between China and Iran have added a new dimension to the already high US-Iran tension. Experts note that such mutual accusations could both complicate the diplomatic process and increase competition among global powers.
While China has recently been trying to take on a more diplomatic role in the Middle East, it is careful to stay away from direct military intervention allegations.
