Iran is reportedly nearing a deal with China to acquire CM-302 supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, potentially boosting its ability to target U.S. and allied warships in the Gulf. The missile, with a reported range of about 290 kilometres, flies low and fast to evade advanced naval defences. Reports suggest talks began two years ago and accelerated after last year’s Iran-Israel conflict, involving senior Iranian defence officials. The move comes as Washington increases its regional military presence and warns of possible prolonged operations if nuclear diplomacy fails, signalling a deepening strategic alignment between Tehran, Beijing and Moscow.
