Assessment
A new arms shipment from China to Iran, reported by Reuters, could shift the regional military balance. Shoulder-fired air defense missiles are portable and hard to track, making them a significant threat to aircraft operating near Iranian borders. The timing and scale of the delivery will be closely watched by Israel and Gulf states.
