US intelligence agencies have speculated that China may send shoulder-launched missiles to Iran in the coming weeks. US media CNN has made this disclosure, citing security officials.

However, the officials have said that so far there is no evidence that Chinese missiles have been used against US-Israeli forces in the conflict. The news also mentions that there is a debate in China about sending weapons to Iran.

The news also mentions that China may secretly allow its companies to send chemicals, fuel and components that can be used in military production.

This could put Iran in a stronger position in war. The shoulder-launched missiles called MANPADS can shoot down planes. China is preparing to send such weapons.

The New York Times reported, , ‘China has not shown any interest in sending military equipment to Iran. But some Chinese government officials want Beijing to allow its companies to supply weapons directly to Iran,’

The move to allow missile shipments to Iran would be a significant decision. This indicates that Chinese leaders are actively trying to defeat the United States in the Middle East war.

US intelligence agencies have said that Russia is providing the Iranian military with secret information about the US-Israeli relationship via a special satellite. Based on this information, they claim that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is targeting military bases in Middle East. However, both Russia and Iran have denied this.

On Saturday, CNN asked US President Donald Trump for his opinion on the intelligence information. Trump warned Beijing that it would face consequences if it sent weapons to Tehran. “If China does that, it will be in big trouble for China,” he told CNN on his way from the White House to Florida.

A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington said the intelligence report was incorrect. “China has never provided weapons to any side in the conflict. This information is false,” he told CNN. China has been trying to stop the war since it began, he said.

US President Trump is scheduled to visit Beijing in May. Trade, technology and security talks are expected to take place during the visit.

China is Iran’s largest trading partner and the largest buyer of Iranian oil. China is also suffering greatly from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
