The retaliation by Iran probably astounded Trump and Netanyahu, such that they needed to call a truce. Many are saying the USA and Israel are running out of weapons and needed a truce to regroup and rearm. Many of the hypersonic missiles raining on Tel Aviv were never expected and the damage was as bad a those in Gaza. I think the Israelis in Tel Aviv are as bewildered as the Palestinians in Gaza, having never faced such onslaught from any Arab or Muslim neighbors. Israel's invincibility after this war has been totally shattered.
Iran is now confirmed to be buying Chinese weapons - the J10C and I believe also the hypersonic PL15E on top of other Chinese defensive weapons. Bear in mind that some weapons have not even been tested so far in real combat other than those used by the Pakistanis. And I think the USA and the West cannot call them junks, right?
And what about Iran's nuke program? I think we can hear some news soon and not later. It is a priority for Iran, and they are not wasting precious time now, knowing it is an existential choice.

More to come with Chinese weapons export to Iran. After all, more strategic co-operation can be signed, with Iran using oil for payment, which China needs in abundance at good discounts. Are the Chinese also selling weapons to Iran at discounts? China should be giving deep discounts since countries like Pakistan are doing the free testing and advertising for them.
I think it is a good strategy adopted by China, selling weapons that the PLA probably is not figuring in its arsenal, freely without having to fear the leaking of security issues. Countries do not have to buy them and stationed them in China, LOL. Even a UK F35 marooned in Kerala is under heavy guard for fear of security leakage. That is for a plane that is probably two decades old, my goodness. Remember that F35 that fell from a carrier into the South China Sea in January 2022? There was much fear of China salvaging it. But China was not interested even in trying to go for it. China probably knows it is obsolete but still being hyped up.
I think there is a goldmine opening up for China in the global military hardware sector. When it takes off, hmm, wonder if that over-capacity demonization is again going to rear its ugly head. I would not bet against that, as that will be China eating the lunch of the traditional weapon manufacturers.
All thanks to the orange loser and bankrupt. Xi must thank Trump, maybe gift him a C919 plane!! They'll spend a hell of a lot of time scanning it looking for bugs, etc...
Keeps them occupied.
