Iran doesnt need China in the field of military arms relations.Because contrary to popular belief China doesn’t do much for Iran particularly in field of military arms relations. Iran and China don’t have significant military relations.
Also I doubt Chinese have any need for JAASM. Something like this is well within China’s technological capability to build on their own. They don’t need to see a U.S. copy.
Iran has a developed defense industry (hope most of it survived recent US bombing campaign).
What kind of product Iran can't build, - it will design it over the next 5-8 years by its own.

Tell me what else Iran needs from China or Russia, except for fighter aircraft?
Instead of spending dollars and buying expensive Russian and Chinese weapons, Iran should subsidise its own defense industry.
