Iran reportedly nearing agreement to purchase Chinese supersonic anti-ship missiles

Iran and China are reportedly nearing a deal to purchase Chinese-made supersonic anti-ship missiles.

According to sources, the agreement is expected to be finalized soon. The details of the deal have not been made public yet.

The development comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with the US having threatened military action against Iran.

China has produced the advanced cruise missiles, which are capable of traveling at speeds over Mach 3. The missiles are designed to target enemy ships and are seen as a significant upgrade to China’s naval capabilities.

Iran is expected to use the new missiles for its own defense purposes, although the exact details of their intended use remain unclear.

The deal has raised concerns about the potential impact on regional security, particularly with regards to the US presence in the Middle East. The USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford are among the US warships that have been stationed in the region.

Details of the agreement, including the terms and conditions, are not yet available.
