💨 Abstract

The Financial Times reported that two Iranian cargo ships carrying sodium perchlorate, a missile propellant ingredient, will sail from China to Iran in the coming weeks. The ships are subject to U.S. sanctions and their transactions could make Chinese entities involved subject to U.S. sanctions aimed at curbing Iran's weapons programs. The reported shipment could produce enough propellant for 260 mid-range Iranian missiles.
