US EditionWestern intelligence says Iran is rearming despite UN sanctions, with China’s help
Iran has received 10 to 12 shipments totaling about 2,000 tons of sodium perchlorate from China to rebuild missile fuel capacity despite renewed UN sanctions.
- On Wednesday, CNN reported Iran increased shipments of sodium perchlorate from China in the past month despite international sanctions reinstated at the end of September.
- Four and a half months after the 12‑Day War, Iran is rebuilding military capacity and may now hold at least half its roughly 2,700 missiles prewar.
- Because sodium perchlorate is not explicitly sanctioned, Western intelligence estimates that since Sept./29 Iran received 10 to 12 maritime shipments totaling about 2,000 tons, enough to fuel about 500 missiles.
- Israeli analysts say intelligence shows these flows raise regional security concerns as Jerusalem opposed transfers, but analysts interpret China's actions as seeking greater Middle East influence.
- IAEA head Rafael Grossi said inspectors detected suspicious movements at Iranian nuclear sites, while Israeli security officials report Tehran has not resumed significant uranium enrichment and analysts note missing planetary mixers.
