Likely sth. has been delivered, not sure if it is an HQ SAM. Enough to trigger a retaliatory move from Israel: to develop an “Iron Dome" kind of system for Taiwan.

"Taiwan-Israel: behind the scenes of a discreet partnership (1/2) – A secret visit by a Taiwanese deputy minister to Israel and anti-missile systems are the most recent signs of an under-the-radar rapprochement. "

Was there another cargo plane spotted?

don't know.

Just speculate from this unusual move by Israel.

They have failed to infect Chinese society like they did with evangelical Christianity in S Korea, so they fall back on trying to destroy it. It's not unusual it's their move for everything.

We have our own weaknesses, its true, no one is perfect. Unless the Islamic civilization is built.

It will take time and effort to be shaped.

Btw, too many off topic posts. I just had to clarify a few things.

See that's the problem, civilization needs to be built not Islamic civilization.... As long as we have that mindset we will be under pressure. Guess why? Because 3/4 of the world is not Muslim.

However, the UN Security Council sanctions against Iran are currently in effect. All resolutions comply with the current rules of procedure of the UN Security Council. Therefore, even though China and Russia oppose them, they must abide by these resolutions publicly.

It seems you are not aware of the official policy of your own government. Let me remind you of China's stance:

Iran, Russia, and China sent a letter Saturday to the UN secretary-general and the Security Council, declaring that the nuclear deal with Tehran has been terminated, effectively ending the Council's consideration of the Iranian nuclear issue.

The three countries criticized the UK, France, and Germany, known as the E3, for what they described as a “legally and procedurally flawed” attempt to trigger the snapback mechanism to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran under UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

“The attempt by the E3 to trigger the so-called ‘snapback’ is by default legally and procedurally flawed,” said the letter, adding that the European parties, “having themselves ceased to perform their commitments under both the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action ) and Resolution 2231, lack the standing to invoke its provisions.”

The letter reaffirmed that “in accordance with operative paragraph 8 of Resolution 2231, all its provisions are terminated after Oct. 18, 2025,” stressing that “the full and timely conclusion of Resolution 2231 marks the end of the Security Council’s consideration of the Iranian nuclear issue and contributes to strengthening the authority of the Council and the credibility of multilateral diplomacy.”

Try to deal in facts and official Chinese government policies, rather than Western narratives.

1. I am citing official UN documents, not Western media accounts.

2. As I mentioned earlier, this event is still in the diplomatic confrontation stage. Its development is unpredictable and could change at any time. The joint letter from China, Russia, and Iran to the UN that you mentioned occurred on October 19, 2025, representing a new development. A more recent development is that on October 30, 2025, Geng Shuang, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, reiterated at the UN General Assembly reviewing the IAEA's annual report that Resolution 2231 had expired and terminated... He also reiterated his criticism of the US-UK-Australia nuclear submarine cooperation... These are all diplomatic maneuvers. They are still a long way from becoming a reality.

3. As I emphasized earlier, China and Russia have been working to have the UN lift sanctions against Iran. This is the official stance of the Chinese government. In other words, we are currently still acting within the framework of the UN.

China, Russia, and Iran's accusation that the E3's initiation of the "snapback" sanctions mechanism is legally flawed and lacks legal basis, and therefore invalid. ------ This is still a diplomatic confrontation within the framework of UN rules of procedure.

however you want to frame it, it is China's official policy that UNSC resolution 2231 has expired and therefore China is not bound by it, meaning China faces no limitations on exports to Iran.

Not again this BS ... alone the fact that a site is posting an image with a line-up showing Gripens but claiming something about J-10C shows it is just a piece of shitty click-bait, that does not care about facts and most likely not even has a clue how to differ both types!

 

[Deino]

Shut up zionist

Thinking on your own is not a strong point in your life? But insulting others without knowing them seems to be fine for you.

So I am a Zionist since I show you this is a JAS-39 and not a J-10?

We have not seen a single SU 35 and maybe 6 Yak 130 and people are talking about Iran acquiring J10C. There isn't even evidence of Iranian pilots or personnel training on any Chinese equipment.

 

[ToddE]

Not even slightest hint exists for anything landing in Iran except for Yak-130 which serial number counting enthusiasts are now claiming to number around 18 at-least.

If we go by OSINT/Journalistic claims then 48 x SU-35S +12 SU-30SM will arrive in 2026 and on wards. Local MIG fleet will be MLUed/Upgraded to SMT and and SU-24MK will become SU-24MK2. There is no way to prove this is going to happen.

Iran intended to purchase 150 J-10 fighter jets from China in 2015, but due to sabotage committed by the Rouhani government, Iran decided to abandon the plan.
