China is planning secret arms supplies to Iran

Chinese companies are suspected of discussing secret arms sales to Iran and planning to use third countries to hide the origin of military supplies.

This is reported by the New York Times, citing US officials briefed on the intelligence assessments.

According to US sources, information gathered by intelligence agencies suggests that Chinese companies and Iranian officials have held talks about secret arms transfers, although it is not yet clear whether any supplies have actually been made.

It also remains unclear to what extent Chinese authorities approved or supported these contacts. However, US officials believe that such discussions are unlikely to have occurred without Beijing's knowledge.

The development comes at a delicate moment as US President Donald Trump is in Beijing for high-level talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The issue is expected to increase pressure on Trump to raise US concerns about Chinese support for Iran directly with Xi.

According to the report, US intelligence agencies have previously raised suspicions that China may have transferred mobile anti-aircraft missiles, known as MANPADS, capable of hitting low-flying aircraft, to Iran. US officials also say that Beijing had considered other military shipments.

One of the possible transit locations for the clandestine transfers is said to be in Africa, although it remains unclear whether any shipments have reached their destination.

So far, according to American assessments, there is no evidence that Chinese-made weapons have been used against American or Israeli forces during the current conflict with Iran, which began in late February.

However, Washington accuses Beijing of other forms of support for Tehran, including sharing intelligence information, satellite data and dual-use technology needed to produce drones and missiles.

China also remains the largest buyer of Iranian oil, absorbing about 80 percent of Tehran's crude exports, often at reduced prices - a relationship that has gained even greater importance amid tensions over the Strait of Hormuz.
