The two American adversaries have been accused of providing the Islamic Republic with intelligence regarding the locations of US military assets during Operation Epic Fury.
The foreign minister revealed China’s involvement in the war just days after he said that Russia’s involvement in the war was “no secret.”
“A military cooperation between Iran and Russia is not something new. It’s not a secret,” Araghchi told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
Aragachi said that he would not provide details as to the nature of military help Iran is receiving from China and Russia, but described the working relationship as “good cooperation.”

China Deploys 30,000-Ton Liaowang-1 “Floating Supercomputer” to Gulf of Oman — PLAN Intelligence Ship Now Watching U.S.–Israel–Iran War From 6,000km Sensor Bubble
China’s next-generation Liaowang-1 signals-intelligence vessel, escorted by PLAN Type 055 and Type 052D destroyers, has taken position near the Strait of Hormuz with a 6,000-kilometre surveillance envelope capable of tracking 1,200 missiles and aircraft across the escalating U.S.–Israel–Iran conflict theatre.
All the military hardware and training Iran received from China and Russia has been found wanting. It’s quite sobering for the Chinese and Russians no doubt.
