U.S. Intelligence Shows China Taking a More Active Role in Iran War
New York Times ^ | 4-11-26 | Mark Mazetti

Posted on 04/11/2026 11:05:36 AM PDT by MarlonRando

American intelligence agencies have obtained information that China in recent weeks may have sent a shipment of shoulder-fired missiles to Iran for its conflict with the United States and Israel, according to U.S. officials.

The officials said that the intelligence is not definitive that the shipment has been sent, and that there is no evidence that the Chinese missiles have yet been used against American or Israeli forces during the conflict.

this is from the New York Times, so you have to take it with a giant salt lick, but who knows. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t.

maybe that’s how the Iranians were able to shoot down our planes

No way the Iran adventure could turn into a world war or anything.

It certainly is becoming a consistent thing. “...according to U.S. officials....” I think I'll wait for the Trump-Vance administration to say what they will have to say.

This is probably just wishful thinking from the NYT. They want us to lose.

Exactly. This is a psyop article planted in the NYTimes. It is specifically designed to create doubt, worry, and consternation. The purpose is almost exclusively to undermine the support for this effort, because, “Orange man bad above all else, especially the country.”

Anything that weakens America would be good for the ChiComs. So of course they would send military aid to Iran.

But I don’t understand where the ChiComs gets the money to do all that. It’s a mystery, I tell you. I’d like to say more, but I’m off to the dollar store to buy some cheap Chinese-made stuff.

🙁

It would be funny occasionally if it wasn't so obvious.

Very simple ‘flow chart’:
I am a bot…I want us to lose.
I am not a bot…I want us to lose.
Yet, most of all….I am a LOSER.

U.S. "Intelligence" also cleared Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ in 1990 to give testimony to the U.S. Congressional Human Rights Caucus, claiming that she witnessed Iraqi soldiers were taking premature babies out of incubators and leaving them to die on the floor. Nayirah's statements were widely publicized and cited numerous times in the Senate and by President George H. W. Bush to contribute to the rationale for pursuing military action against Iraq.

It was later revealed she was the daughter of Saud Nasser Al-Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States at the time, and that she lied through her teeth.

So there's that for the word of U.S. "Intelligence".
