Iran said to order ingredients from China that can make hundreds of ballistic missiles
Iran has ordered large quantities of ingredients for producing ballistic missiles from China, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal that says the Islamic Republic is seeking to reestablish its military capabilities amid ongoing nuclear talks with the United States.
The report says that Tehran has ordered enough ammonium perchlorate, which is needed to produce solid-fuel missiles, to potentially manufacture up to 800 missiles, with some expected to be sent to Iran-backed proxy groups such as the Houthis in Yemen.
The shipment is reportedly expected to arrive in Iran in the coming months.
