US Intelligence Reveals China Considering Providing Advanced Radar to Iran, Russia Shares Intelligence

US-Iran War Key News

(Central News Agency, Washington, 16th, comprehensive foreign reports) US media reported that days after the outbreak of the US-Israel war against Iran, US intelligence agencies found signs that the conflict could expand beyond the battlefield, with Russia and China attempting to help Iran weaken US-Israeli military operations.

According to multiple informed US officials, CBS News reported that analysts from the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessed that China is considering whether to provide advanced radar systems to Iran. Other sources indicate that Russia has shared intelligence with Iran regarding US military positions in the Middle East.

CBS News previously reported that Russia transmitted intelligence to Iran, while China appeared to show willingness to support Iran early in the conflict, and may even be willing to assist long-term, indicating a broader but informal trend of cooperation among major powers seeking to counterbalance US ambitions in the Middle East.

US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to national security concerns, told CBS News that Beijing had considered providing X-band radar systems to Iran. This technology would significantly enhance Iran's ability to detect and track incoming threats, such as low-flying drones and cruise missiles, and could help protect air defense systems from advanced strikes.

These officials said it is currently unclear whether China ultimately proceeded with providing the advanced radar systems, but the assessment highlights Washington's concern that the Iran conflict not only involves regional rivals but also global competitors willing to provide critical assistance without direct military intervention.

The US Defense Intelligence Agency and the White House both declined to comment. The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) also declined to comment. (Translator: Lu Ying-tzu) 1150417
