Hegseth: China denies sending arms to Iran

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has addressed reports that China is preparing to send arms to Iran. He stated that China has provided assurances to the United States that such a transfer will not happen, citing the strong and direct relationship between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The statement was made in response to a direct question about the alleged weapons shipments. This public denial comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran over the ongoing naval blockade.
