🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — The U.S. is continuing to build up forces in the Middle East ahead of this weekend’s renewed talks with Iran, with more fighter and attack aircraft already deployed and plans to send 1,500–2,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division, WSJ reports.

➡️ Additional naval and Marine forces are also moving into the region, including the USS George H.W. Bush carrier strike group and the USS Boxer with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

🏹 🇨🇳 🇮🇷 US intelligence indicates China is preparing weapons shipment to Iran amid fragile ceasefire, sources say - Natasha Bertrand

US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks, according to three people familiar with recent intelligence assessments.

The systems Beijing is preparing to transfer are shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs, the sources said, which posed an asymmetric threat to low-flying US military aircraft throughout the course of the five-week war and could again if the ceasefire falls apart.

Trump indicated during a press conference on Monday that the F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran last week was hit by a “handheld shoulder missile, [a] heat-seeking missile,” and Iran said it had used a “new” air defense system to hit the jet without providing more details. It’s unclear if that system was Chinese manufactured.

Chinese companies have continued to sell the Iranians sanctioned dual-use technology that enables the Iran to keep building weapons and enhance its navigation systems, sources said, but the Chinese government directly transferring weapons systems would mark a new level of assistance.
