The Iranian Air Defence Forces have received Chinese-made long range air defence systems, according to new reports from regional sources. An unnamed Arab official speaking to a local media outlet noted Iranian efforts to “back up and reinforce” its air defences, and that the information on these efforts had been passed on to the United States. The reports follow successful Israeli and American efforts to penetrate Iranian airspace during attacks from June 13-24, which saw Israeli F-35 stealth fighters and U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers operate deep inside the country, while older aircraft such as F-15s and F-16s launched air-to-surface missiles from safer distances. Israeli officials have indicated that further attacks on Iran are under consideration, primarily to prevent the country from sustaining ballistic missile production, which makes the strengthening of Iranian air defences appear highly urgent.
