U.S. intelligence says China is weighing whether to supply Iran with advanced radar and air-defense systems. U.S. officials told CBS News that signs emerged days after the Iran war began, when intelligence picked up Chinese consideration of advanced X-band radars and related systems. U.S. intelligence views such transfers as capable of degrading American air operations and shifting regional dynamics by improving Iran's ability to detect and target aircraft.
