Kokcha News Agency: Middle East Eye has published an exclusive report claiming that Iran has acquired Chinese-made surface-to-air missile defense systems. Informed sources told the outlet that Iran is undertaking a series of measures to quickly rebuild its defense systems, including the procurement of advanced Chinese missile defense technology.
A security official from an unnamed Arab country, speaking on condition of anonymity, informed Middle East Eye that the delivery of Chinese surface-to-air missiles to Iran took place after a ceasefire agreement.
Another source suggested that Iran appears to be using new and innovative methods to conduct its transactions, indicating a strategic shift in how it manages its defense procurements.
The shipment of such systems from China to Iran underscores the deepening relationship between Beijing and Tehran. This comes amid recent claims by some Western analysts that China had distanced itself from Iran following unprecedented Israeli attacks.
