Subject: Re: Iran's Missiles
Not correct. China helps Iran evade sanctions and provides them with dual-use components that hey can make themselves. Without help from China Iran would have a MUCH harder time.

For the nuclear program? Perhaps.

But for their drone and ballistic missile programs? Not in any material way. Which is why the idea that we're going to accomplish some kind of "lasting" change in the region by doing this (let alone "50 years") is fanciful.
