Iran Turns to China for Missile Boost: Report

A new report from Israeli media has warned of increased military cooperation between Iran and China, particularly in the production of surface-to-surface missiles. Yedioth Ahronoth cited intelligence findings that Beijing may be helping Tehran rebuild missile capabilities damaged in the recent June war. The concerns surfaced as Israel's military chief, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, said the army is ready to launch further strikes on Iran if necessary, following what he described as a successful preemptive campaign.

he reported cooperation between Beijing and Tehran is viewed by Israel as a significant security challenge. Israel fought a 12-day, United States-backed war against Iran in June and is now watching for any moves that could restore Iran's missile capacity. Israeli authorities have stated that Chinese involvement in missile development or supply could directly undermine Israel's defense efforts.
