China has sent attack drones to Iran, as it discusses ballistic missile sales

China is increasing its military support for Iran, delivering both offensive and defensive weapons as the threat of a US attack looms. The offensive systems reportedly include loitering munitions, or "kamikaze" drones, marking a significant step-up in their military cooperation. In addition to bolstering Iran's air defenses with surface-to-air missiles, Beijing is also discussing the potential sale of advanced anti-ship and hypersonic missiles. Iran is reportedly paying for these weapons systems with oil shipments, as the vast majority of its crude exports now flow to Beijing.
