00:00What if one missile could change the balance of power in the Middle East?
00:03Iran is now close to buying deadly supersonic anti-ship missiles from China.
00:07Sources say the deal is nearly done.
00:10The weapon is called the CM-302.
00:12It flies low.
00:14It flies fast.
00:15And it is built to dodge ship defenses.
00:18Experts warn this could threaten U.S. aircraft carriers in the region,
00:22including the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Gerald R. Ford.
00:26Talks reportedly sped up after last year's brief but intense Israel-Iran war.
00:31Senior Iranian officials even traveled to Beijing to seal the deal.
00:35Analyst Danny Citrinowich calls it a game-changer.
00:38He says these missiles are extremely hard to intercept.
00:41The weapons are made by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation.
00:45They claim it can even sink an aircraft carrier.
00:48Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran to strike a nuclear deal within days.
00:53Or face consequences.
00:54China's President Xi Jinping has publicly backed Iran's sovereignty.
00:58Behind the scenes, global powers are lining up.
01:01And Iran may soon hold a weapon that shifts the entire naval balance.
01:05The question is simple.
01:07Will this deal spark deterrence?
01:09Or ignite something far bigger?
01:10expand on the ground.
01:10You will, until it Majorahls are moving closer to the side of the center.
01:11A few minutes later..
01:11And then save the experiencio that have he knows where
