China is delivering “offensive” weapons as well as additional “defensive” arms to Iran, with the US on the cusp of launching an attack on the Islamic Republic, three officials familiar with the matter told Middle East Eye.

One Arab official familiar with the deliveries described the offensive weapons as “small” systems. Another regional intelligence official said Beijing had sent loitering munitions, or Kamikaze drones, to the Islamic Republic.

A second Arab official who spoke with MEE confirmed the deliveries of “offensive” weapons as well as the air-defence systems.

Ten years ago we had Iran right where we wanted them, and then that moron Trump blew the Peace Train to smithereens when he betrayed us all by tearing up the Nukes Deal.

He had to though, because somebody he was mad at made that deal and he had to pound his tiny hands.
