flag Iran is rebuilding missile stockpile with Chinese-supplied chemicals, raising global non-proliferation concerns.

flag Iran is rapidly rebuilding its ballistic missile stockpile after a 12-day war with Israel, receiving over 2,000 tons of sodium perchlorate from China since late September—enough to fuel up to 500 missiles—despite international sanctions. flag The chemical, not explicitly banned, is used in solid-fuel rocket engines, enabling Iran to expand missile production. flag While Iran’s nuclear program remains inactive with no evidence of resumed enrichment, IAEA inspectors have detected suspicious activity, and Iran’s lack of cooperation hampers verification. flag China continues to supply materials, citing compliance with export rules, while the U.S. warns of potential strikes if enrichment resumes. flag The shipments, tracked via ship movements and crew activity, highlight growing challenges in enforcing non-proliferation efforts.
