Highly unlikely that the Chinese will part with their J-10s. It is their most advanced, full production, completely indigenous fighter at this point.
They do not sell them to Pakistan, who is a much closer ally.
More likely that Iran gets JF-17s.
But stranger things have happened...I just will not believe this until the Chinese themselves announce it.

How ironic that Iran will be operating a fighter originally designed by the Israelis.

In an ironic twist of fate, the J-10 is rumored to have been developed on the basis of the Lavi fighters designed by Israel and the United States in the 1980s. Israel allegedly sold the blueprints for the Lavi to China and now the technology could find its way to what Tel Aviv perceives as its archenemy.
Allegations denied by both nations
