Foreign media hyped up the rumor of China selling missiles to Iran, which was refuted by Chinese authorities.

Foreign media reported today that, in response to Reuters' report stating Iran is expected to receive 400 Chinese-made portable missiles within weeks, U.S. President Trump made remarks at the White House on July 29 local time, saying that China had assured him it would not sell weapons to Tehran. "But if such a situation were to occur, I would be quite disappointed."

China has already clearly refuted Reuters' false report, which is entirely baseless from beginning to end. Nevertheless, Western media and politicians continue to echo each other, repeatedly amplifying unsubstantiated rumors—exactly the same pattern seen previously during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, when they incessantly propagated baseless claims about "China providing military aid to Russia and training its troops."

The old playbook of smearing China has long been well-practiced by the West. Their core objective is to fabricate and defame without limits in the international public opinion arena, steering narratives to portray China as a "disruptor" of regional stability, thereby creating pretexts for escalating sanctions against China.
