US-Geheimdienste deuten darauf hin, dass China inmitten eines fragilen Waffenstillstands Waffenlieferungen an den Iran vorbereitet, sagen Quellen

Submission statement:

US intelligence agencies have indicated China is planning to deliver shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs (air defence) to Iran in the coming weeks. The same intelligence reports explain that Iran might be using the ceasefire as a chance to replace key weapon systems that were damaged in the war.

>Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, said the U.S. must fulfill two key conditions “before negotiations begin”: halting attacks by Israel in Lebanon, and releasing Iranian assets.

>A senior Iranian source said on Saturday the U.S. had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets ​held in Qatar and other foreign banks, but a U.S. official swiftly denied the assertion. The senior Iranian ‌source welcomed the purported U.S. move as a sign of „seriousness“ in reaching a deal with Washington in [talks in Islamabad](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-iran-set-peace-talks-doubts-emerge-over-lebanon-sanctions-2026-04-11/). The source said it was one of Iran’s demands „in messages conveyed to the U.S. side“ and that Tehran had received a ​U.S. agreement to release the assets.

This is why ceasefires don’t work. One side just takes advantage of the ceasefire to rearm and regroup.

Are we surprised? This has been happening for centuries from all sides.

What a shocking development.

Between this and the continued statements from Zelensky that Russia is providing Iran with intel, I can’t help but marvel that it only takes such little effort to whip up the pro-war sentiment in the west.
