Don’t trust “Hollywood Horror Stories” - videos too much. Must were fake.
I don't know what you mean, but the videos that ISIS's bloodthirsty lunatics themselves published speak louder than words... As well as footage of dead Palestinian children in Gaza. To me, ISIS is the same as the IDF.

The Foreign Ministry expresses its strongest condemnation and complete rejection of the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he recklessly suggested that Israel’s control over the entire Middle East would be acceptable.

The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, together with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) express their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank.

If you want to argue with this gentleman, there are better things to say. Believe me , I can but I don't want to go into that. Besides, overall I think that Perun is a positive person as far as I can see.

Exclusive: Iran nears deal to buy supersonic anti-ship missiles from China

LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Iran is close to a deal with China to purchase anti‑ship cruise missiles, according to six people with knowledge of the negotiations, just as the United States deploys a vast naval force near the Iranian coast ahead of possible strikes on the Islamic Republic.
The deal for the Chinese‑made CM‑302 missiles is near completion, though no delivery date has been agreed, the people said. The supersonic missiles have a range of about 290 kilometres and are designed to evade shipborne defences by flying low and fast. Their deployment would significantly enhance Iran’s strike capabilities and pose a threat to U.S. naval forces in the region, two weapons experts said.

Negotiations with China to buy the missile weapons systems, which began at least two years ago, accelerated sharply after the 12‑day war between Israel and Iran in June, according to the six people with knowledge of the talks, including three officials who were briefed by the Iranian government as well as three security officials. As talks entered their final stages last summer, senior Iranian military and government officials travelled to China, including Massoud Oraei, Iran’s deputy defence minister, according to two of the security officials. Oraei’s visit has not been previously reported.
“It’s a complete gamechanger if Iran has supersonic capability to attack ships in the area,” said Danny Citrinowicz, a former Israeli intelligence officer and now senior Iran researcher at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies think tank. “These missiles are very difficult to intercept.”

Reuters could not determine how many missiles were involved in the potential deal, how much Iran had agreed to pay, or whether China would go through with the agreement now given heightened tensions in the region.
“Iran has military and security agreements with its allies, and now is an appropriate time to make use of these agreements,” an Iranian foreign ministry official told Reuters.
In a comment sent after publication, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was not aware of the talks about a potential missile sale that Reuters had reported. China's defence ministry did not respond to a request for comment.
The White House did not directly address the negotiations between Iran and China over the missile system when asked by Reuters. U.S. President Donald Trump has been clear that “either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” a White House official said, referring to the current standoff with Iran.

Only "nears", Iran always has hesitation to buy weapons from China(Perhaps they prefer weapon made in USA).
However, China has no hesitation to buy oil from Iran.

Thats not it,Iran wanted to buy but China was hesitant to sell to Iran because of US sanctions(economic).
It seems China doesnt care anymore.

There are 3 countries that are subject to CAATSA sanctions.
Russia, Nort Korea and Iran.
If any country deals with any of these three they can be hit with CAATSA sanctions.
China is walking the tight rope here if it is selling weapons to İran. Buying oil is already a sanctionable move. However it is a commodity that is essential for the general populace. So there is some leeway that can be exercised. We buy gas and oil from Russia and Iran too.
But selling weapons is totally sanctionable. However China has enough cards in its hands to hit back with. So it is not a cut and dry case as it looks.

US already sanctioned China for its dealings with Russia re Su-35s and S400s in 2018.

I know they did. But did it do any good?
One individual was denied US visa and the EDD (equipment development department) was banned from having export licences. The latter must be hurting still, in spite of the fact that China has been trying to circumvent it though illicit means.
