Chinese Firms Plot Secret Arms Sales to Iran
(New York Times) Julian E. Barnes - The U.S. has gathered intelligence that Chinese companies and Iranian officials have discussed arms transfers, plotting to send the weapons through other countries to mask the origins of the military aid. Since the beginning of the war, China has given Iran intelligence and access to a spy satellite that has tracked the positions of U.S. forces in the region. China has also supplied dual-use components that Iran needs to produce drones, missiles and other weaponry.
