CNN adds that Iran may be replenishing weapons with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lobbyist-for-foreign-partners-of-russias-nord-stream-2-donated-to-biden-campaign-pro-biden-super-pac-report\/\" title=\"Lobbyist For \u2018Foreign Partners Of Russia\u2019s Nord Stream 2\u2019 Donated To Biden Campaign, Pro-Biden Super PAC: ...\">foreign partners<\/a> and could route shipments to conceal their origin.

The intelligence has some uncertainties, and it\u2019s not clear whether these missiles have been used in Iran\u2019s attacks on U.S. or Israeli targets. The report also claims that China, despite tight control over its private sector, is permitting the transfer to Iran of chemicals, fuel, and weapon components. If it proves true that missiles are reaching Iran via Pakistan, it would be a major act of aggression and could lead to a strong response toward both China and Pakistan, including pressure over Chinese student admissions to U.S. colleges. CNN is cited as saying China intends to move missiles to Iran through a third country to mask origin, while Iran may be replenishing certain weapons with foreign help during a ceasefire. The Chinese embassy denies supplying weapons to any party in the conflict and calls for de-escalation. U.S. sources also allege that China is preparing to send MANPADS to Iran; some views suggest such missiles may have contributed to the downing of an F-15E earlier in the month. Russia is said to have provided Iran with satellite data to aid attacks on American ships and installations, though it has not sent weapons. The Times notes that China maintains a publicly neutral stance while shipping dual-use parts that could support weapons programs, a move some say aims to preserve oil routes through the Strait of Hormuz while avoiding wider escalation, though some Chinese officials reportedly support Tehran to weaken U.S. influence. China remains Iran\u2019s largest oil customer and a major economic partner. The report comes as President Trump is preparing for a trip to China to meet President Xi Jinping.
