Despite China’s broad energy, trade and investment alliance with Iran, there is little evidence that Beijing is supplying Tehran with the drones and missiles at the centre of its counterattack against the US and Israel.
Reports that China is shipping air defence systems and missile propellant ingredients to Iran have been around since late last year, though neither side has commented.
After US President Donald Trump’s latest strike at the weekend, China’s Foreign Ministry dismissed a separate account that Beijing was poised to arm Iran with supersonic anti-ship missiles as “not true”.
