Russia and China providing ‘military cooperation’ to Iran, foreign minister boasts
NY Post ^ | 3/14/26 | David Spector

China has been helping Iran in its war against the US and Israel, Iran’s foreign minister boasted Saturday — days after confirming his country has also been aided by Russia.

“Russia and China are our strategy partners, and we have had close cooperation in the past, which is still continues [sic], and that includes military cooperation as well,” Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told MS Now.

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.”

News of Russia’s involvement flies in the face of assurances made by Kremlin officials to US diplomatic leaders.

Ambassador Steve Witkoff told CNBC that Russian leaders had promised President Trump that they were not providing intelligence to Russia during a phone call Monday.

“I can tell you that yesterday, on the call with [President Trump], the Russians said they have not been sharing… so, we can take them at their word, but they did say that,” Witkoff told CNBC.

China is between a rock and a hard place.

Trump can crash China’s economy by shutting off trade with China and/or shutting off China’s oil imports.

China is already having problems. The question is how far to their tipping point?

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.
