[Townhall]
Numerous open-source intelligence accounts have reported that 16 Chinese Y-20 cargo jets, comparable to the U.S. C-17 Globemaster, have landed in Iran within a 56 hour timespan, marking the largest such movement for the Chinese.
The potential increase in military support comes as the mass killing of anti-regime protesters has nearly reached 20,000 in some estimates. Iranian officials have confirmed the deaths of at least 5,000, according to a Reuters report.
President Trump has continued to pressure the Iranian regime into submission, implementing strict tariffs on the Persian state’s trade partners last week and threatening military action should the Ayatollah not back down.
