U.S. intelligence agencies have detected signs that China is weighing whether to provide Iran with advanced radar systems, according to multiple U.S. officials.

Officials said Beijing considered supplying Iran with X-band radar systems, which could improve Tehran’s ability to detect and track incoming threats such as low-flying drones and cruise missiles, while helping protect its air defense systems from advanced strikes.
