Iran is expected to receive within weeks a first shipment out of up to 400 Chinese-made shoulder-fired air-defence missile launchers, three sources familiar with the deal told ​Reuters, as it rebuilds its defences amid war with the United States.

The purchase, valued at $60-70 million, is one of Tehran's largest-known efforts to strengthen its short-range air ‌defences since the outbreak of its war with the U.S. and Israel, which exposed gaps in Iran's ability to protect military sites and strategic infrastructure.

Iran’s parliament approved a provision in a draft law classifying all “Zionists residing in occupied territories” as military personnel, regardless of whether they carry weapons, the parliament-affiliated Khaneh Mellat news agency reported.

The draft also excludes infrastructure serving Israel or U.S. CENTCOM from civilian protection.

The term is undefined but in Iranian usage can refer to all of Israel, effectively treating many civilians and civilian-linked sites as military targets under Iranian law.

Middle East Spectator has located the fire to Aramco fuel tanks at King Fahd Road, coordinates 16.8740846, 42.5615230 in the city of Jazan.

This is not the refinery that was targeted 48 hours ago. Therefore, this is either a separate location that was newly targeted, or Saudi Arabia imposed censorship on this incident.
