Share:
China has denied reports that it plans to supply Iran with new air defense systems. A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington responded to the CNN report by stating that "China has never provided weapons to any party in the conflict, this information is not true." The denial comes amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and international scrutiny of arms transfers to Iran, which faces extensive sanctions from Western nations over its nuclear program and support for proxy groups in regional conflicts.
