Iran is nearing a deal with China to purchase Chinese-made CM-302 supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, according to multiple unnamed sources. The negotiations began in 2024 or earlier, but accelerated when Iranian deputy defense minister Massoud Oraei visited China after the Israel-Iran war in 2025. China's Foreign Ministry said it was unaware of the reported talks. The missiles are produced by state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). Iran is also negotiating the acquisition of Chinese man-portable surface-to-air missiles, according to the same sources.
