US intelligence indicates China preparing weapons shipment to Iran, CNN reports

U.S. intelligence indicates China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks, CNN ⁠reported late on Friday, citing three people familiar with recent intelligence assessments.

The network said there are indications that Beijing is working to route the shipments through third countries to mask their origin.

The U.S. State Department, White House ‌and ⁠the Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Beijing is preparing to transfer shoulder-fired anti-air ⁠missile systems known as MANPADs, CNN said, citing sources it did not name.
