Abstract
- China sees Iran as a crucial power with significant influence over the security landscape of the Middle East. Despite being sensitive to regional and global dynamics surrounding Iran, China cannot ignore Tehran's strategic significance. Yet, their bilateral relations are significantly influenced by the regional security environment. China has consistently prioritized its ties with the United States over Iran and has generally adhered to UN regulations concerning Iran. China's sensitivity to Arab and regional interests in the Middle East significantly impacts the China–Iran arms relationship. These concerns significantly restricted the flow of Chinese arms to Iran since 2005, with UN sanctions ultimately sealing the cessation of arms flow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
