Iran is nearing a deal with China to buy anti-ship cruise missiles known as CM-302, according to six sources familiar with the negotiations. This comes at a time when the United States has deployed a significant naval force near Iran, preparing for potential military actions against the country. The CM-302 missiles can travel about 290 kilometers and are designed to outmaneuver naval defenses by flying low and fast. Their acquisition would greatly boost Iran’s ability to strike and pose a threat to U. S. naval operations in the area, as noted by weapons experts.

The missile negotiations, which have been ongoing for at least two years, gained momentum following a brief conflict between Israel and Iran in June. Senior Iranian officials, including deputy defense minister Massoud Oraei, visited China as the talks progressed. The exact number of missiles involved in the potential deal, their cost, and the commitment from China regarding delivery remain unclear amid the rising regional tensions.

China’s state media is calling on the Canadian government to set a foreign policy path independent of the United States — what it calls “strategic autonomy.”

Eighteen leaders of a prominent Chinese underground church have been formally arrested, an advocate for a Christian NGO has confirmed, meaning they will now face trial and potential prison sentences of up to three years.

This development follows a significant crackdown on Chinese Christians, the largest of its kind since 2018, which saw nearly 30 pastors and staff from Zion Church – an unofficial ‘house church’ – detained nationwide in mid-October.

Among those currently held in detention centres in the southern city of Beihai is the church’s founder, Pastor Jin Mingri.
