China, Pakistan and North Korea have launched an airlift of military aid to Iran, with the first planes carrying surface-to-surface missiles landing at Tehran airport and secret desert airfields east of Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transport aircraft from these countries were spotted entering Iranian airspace in succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iranian Major General Muhammad al-Samadi, according to Arab Defense, described the delivery of the weapons as \u201cthe first in a series of planned support measures, which also include air defense systems, possibly from China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistani General Al-Samadi also mentioned the possibility of supplying Chinese HQ-9 air defense systems, equivalent to the S-300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most importantly, Pakistan\u2019s warning to Israel: \u201cIf you nuke Tehran, we will nuke Tel Aviv!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistani ballistic missiles of the Ghauri-2 and Shaheen-2 type capable of carrying nuclear warheads have been transferred to Tehran and are being deployed inside Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ghauri and Shaheen missiles are two families of medium-range ballistic missiles developed by Pakistan. The Shaheen is a solid-fueled missile family, while the Ghauri is primarily liquid-fueled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Shaheen family includes several variants, such as the Shaheen-I, Shaheen-IA, Shaheen-II, and Shaheen-III, with the latter having the longest range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ghauri also has the Ghauri-I and Ghauri-II variants, with the Ghauri-II having a longer range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghauri<\/strong> Shaheen<\/strong> The Iranian stockpile of ballistic missiles capable of hitting Israel is limited and is enough for a war of about 15 days if we calculate the firing of 150 missiles per day, so if Israel has not agreed to capitulate, then the Iranians will run out of missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The continued existence of Iran with the current government status quo that has made all the trade agreements, acquires an existential character for North Korea due to oil and natural gas and is very important for Russia whose credibility is being tested in the Middle East, especially after the loss of Syria, while for China it is the only guaranteed reservoir of oil and natural gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And for Pakistan the “Iran” case acquires an existential character, but for purely geostrategic reasons: If Iran is lost and falls under the influence of the West and Israel, it will be put in a “vice” with India on one side and pro-Western Iran on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Detail: All of the above powers are nuclear\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" China, Pakistan and North Korea have launched an airlift of military aid to Iran, with the first planes carrying surface-to-surface missiles landing at Tehran…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24790,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,834],"tags":[6234,161,160,1199,906],"class_list":["post-24789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-geopolitical","category-middle-east-geopolitical","tag-ballistic-missiles","tag-china","tag-iran","tag-north-korea","tag-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24789"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24791,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24789\/revisions\/24791"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
