Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang joins \u2018Mornings with Maria\u2019 to warn of China backing Iran while questioning its stance on the Strait of Hormuz, and raises concerns over Chinese-linked missiles.<\/p>\n

The risk of a broader global conflict is rising as China’s indirect role in the Iran crisis comes into sharper focus, with new concerns emerging over weapons used against U.S. forces.<\/p>\n

Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang joined FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria” to discuss how Beijing’s support for Iran could quickly escalate tensions with the United States.<\/p>\n

Chang pointed to reports that advanced weapons used by Iran may already be tied to China, raising the stakes for any future confrontation in the region.<\/p>\n

“Those supersonic missiles that Iran fired at the Abraham Lincoln, our aircraft carrier, those were Chinese… It’s clear that the Iranians have more of those Chinese missiles,” Chang said.<\/p>\n

He warned that any direct hit on U.S. military assets could immediately alter the relationship between Washington and Beijing.<\/p>\n

“God forbid, if one of those missiles hit an American ship… our relationship with China changes overnight,” Chang said.<\/p>\n

The broader concern, he noted, is that China’s involvement is not limited to isolated support, but spans multiple layers of assistance that stop just short of direct military engagement.<\/p>\n

“China’s support for Iran is across the board… It’s everything except for combat troops… We should consider China an enemy combatant,” Chang said.<\/p>\n

As tensions persist in the Strait of Hormuz, Chang suggested the current dynamic leaves the U.S. facing a growing challenge from a rival power benefiting from the conflict while avoiding direct accountability.<\/p>\n
