Beijing–Tehran: As war drums grow louder in the Middle East, Iran has issued a stark warning to the United States. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi bluntly stated that any military attack by the Donald Trump administration on Iran would be an extremely dangerous gamble for America. He emphasized that Iran has already prepared comprehensive defense plans, yet stressed that the doors for diplomacy remain open.
Meanwhile, Iran is rapidly enhancing its military capabilities. According to Reuters reports, amid escalating fears of conflict, Iran has decided to significantly boost its anti-ship strike power — and **China** is fully supporting this effort. Reliable sources indicate that China is preparing to supply Iran with its advanced **supersonic anti-ship missile CM-302. This missile can accurately strike enemy warships from over 290 kilometers away and sink them directly in the water.
Key Features of the CM-302 Missile
-Supersonic Speed: Exceeds Mach 3 (more than three times the speed of sound)
- Range: 290+ kilometers
- Guidance System: Advanced radar + infrared homing for precision targeting
- Warhead: Heavy high-explosive payload capable of sinking large warships with a single hit
- Launch Platforms: Can be fired from ships, submarines, or coastal ground batteries
This weapon poses a serious threat to U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, destroyers, and other capital ships. If Iran acquires the CM-302 in significant numbers, naval operations by the U.S. and its allies in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz could become far more dangerous and restricted.
Growing Alarm in the U.S. and Among Allies This potential deal has sent shockwaves through Washington, Tel Aviv, and Gulf capitals. American defense analysts describe the CM-302 as a potential “game changer” in the region — dramatically strengthening Iran's ability to deny sea access and threaten large surface fleets. The Pentagon and White House are reportedly in a state of high alert over the implications of this emerging China–Iran military cooperation.
Decisive Talks in Geneva Critical negotiations between the United States and Iran are scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, on February 26 and Thursday. Iran has stated it will participate with full sincerity and aims to reach an agreement as quickly as possible. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt signaled that President Trump’s preferred path is always diplomacy first — but made it clear that military options remain on the table if necessary.
Shifting Power Dynamics in the Middle East
- Iran–China strategic and military ties are deepening rapidly
- Russia is already supplying Iran with drones and missile technology
- U.S.–Israel coordination is intensifying
- Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other Gulf states are closely watching this development
If the CM-302 deal is finalized, it could fundamentally alter the balance of power in the Persian Gulf. The ability of the U.S. Navy to operate freely in these vital waters may come under serious question, and regional tensions could escalate further. The eyes of the entire world are now fixed on the Geneva talks — will diplomacy prevail, or will the risk of war move even closer?
