Israel alarmed: intel points to China aiding Iran’s missile rebuild; nuclear repairs on hold


Western intelligence indicates Iran is prioritizing a rapid restoration of its ground-to-ground missile force after the June war, with possible Chinese assistance—a prospect Israel calls “very troubling.” 

Jerusalem says it has delivered “clear messages” to Beijing; 
China has not confirmed any role. 
The analysis suggests Tehran is first replenishing air defenses and ballistic capabilities to secure a direct, sovereign deterrent—especially after Hezbollah’s limited posture—while nuclear-site repairs are, for now, secondary. 

Russian help is uncertain, and European services reportedly see deepening Iran–China coordination on missiles—potentially a strategic shift that could reset regional deterrence.
