Reuters: China backs Iran with missiles
Iran is planning to receive its first shipment of 300 to 400 shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile systems from China within a few weeks, as part of a deal valued between $60 million and $70 million. The goal is to strengthen its defensive capabilities amid its ongoing conflict with the United States. The systems include QW-12 missiles and Chinese-made FN-16, representing one of the largest efforts to bolster short-range air defenses following vulnerabilities revealed during the recent conflict. The deal was signed with a Hong Kong company that acted as an intermediary between Tehran and the Chinese supplier, in an attempt to improve the protection of military sites and Iran’s strategic infrastructure.
