US ALLEGES CHINESE FIRMS SECRETLY PLANNED ARMS SALES TO IRAN U.S. officials say Chinese companies discussed covert arms sales to Iran, allegedly planning to route weapons through third countries to hide their origin. American intelligence agencies reportedly uncovered talks between Chinese firms and Iranian officials, though it remains unclear whether any weapons were ultimately delivered. The allegations add pressure on President Trump to raise the issue during his meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing. U.S. officials also claim China has provided Iran with intelligence, satellite support, and dual-use technology during the conflict, while Beijing continues to buy large volumes of discounted Iranian oil.
