Iran May Have Used Chinese Missile on US Fighter Jet
The F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran was likely struck by a Chinese-made shoulder-launched missile, and China may have also supplied Iran with a radar system capable of detecting stealth aircraft. U.S. officials are investigating the incident, which marks the first time in decades a U.S. fighter has been downed by enemy fire. The potential involvement of Chinese military equipment complicates ongoing negotiations to end the conflict, even as President Trump maintains that China’s leader has promised not to provide such weaponry. China denies the accusations, stating its adherence to strict export controls and international obligations.
