BEIJING is flooding Iran with high-tech “kamikaze” drones and advanced missile systems as the Middle East teeters on the brink of an all-out war with the United States.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through Western intelligence agencies, China has begun delivering a massive arsenal of offensive and defensive weaponry to Tehran.
The surge comes as President Donald Trump warns that military force remains “on the table” following the collapse of nuclear talks in Geneva this week.
According to sources cited by Middle East Eye, the secret shipments include:
Kamikaze Drones: “Loitering munitions” designed to swarm and destroy enemy targets.
Ship-Killers: Advanced anti-ship missiles capable of threatening US carrier strike groups currently massing in the Arabian Sea.
Air Defences: State-of-the-art HQ-16 and HQ-17AE battery systems to shield Iranian sites from American airstrikes.
Most alarmingly, Tehran is reportedly in advanced talks to Bag China’s “carrier-killer”—the DF-17 hypersonic glide missile. With its extreme speed and ability to manoeuvre mid-flight, the DF-17 is designed to dance around modern Western air defences, making it nearly impossible to intercept.
A “Stark Warning” to Washington
In a bold diplomatic gambit, Beijing has reportedly briefed several Arab nations on the deliveries.
Experts say the move is a clear “hands off” signal to Washington, proving China is prepared to back its energy partner to the hilt.
”This isn’t just a sale; it’s a shield,” said one regional security source. “China is telling the US that any attack on Iran will be met with a far more sophisticated resistance than they’ve ever faced.”
As the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford move into striking distance, the arrival of Chinese “carrier-killers” has turned the Persian Gulf into a high-stakes powder keg.
