China alleged to supply weapons to Iran while denying it to President Trump
CNN anchor Erin Burnett said China is providing weapons shipments and rocket fuel to Iran, including shoulder‑launched systems that could target U.S. or Israeli aircraft, while publicly denying the assistance to President Donald Trump. Burnett discussed the issue with Seth Jones of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who added that China is also supporting Russia’s war effort in Ukraine. Both described the situation as a disturbing trend and an "international humiliation" for the United States.
The remarks highlight concerns over Chinese involvement in multiple conflict zones and its impact on U.S. security and foreign policy.
