The international situation may become even more tense. Iran has ordered a large amount of special chemicals and components from China for missile weapons. The Wall Street Journal reported this, citing its reliable sources.
It is emphasized that the total weight of the ordered chemicals is about a thousand tons, and this cargo is expected to arrive in Iran in the next few months. Such a large amount of chemical compounds, according to military experts, can significantly strengthen Iran's ballistic missile program.
Among this large-scale order is a substance called ammonium perchlorate, which is usually used as an oxidizer for solid rocket fuel and explosives. WSJ analysts note that such a quantity of ammonium perchlorate can be used as fuel for several hundred ballistic missiles. This can lead to a sharp increase in Iran's military potential.
It is noteworthy that this is not the first case of Iran purchasing chemical compounds from China this year. Earlier, it was reported that more than a thousand tons of sodium perchlorate were loaded onto two large Iranian cargo ships in China. This cargo was delivered to Iran in February-March of this year. Sodium perchlorate is also a substance with extremely strong oxidizing properties, which is used in the production of missiles.
According to analysts' calculations, the amount delivered in February may be enough to fuel about 260 short-range ballistic missiles. This is an indication that Iran's military capabilities are expanding significantly.
Iran's large-scale military spending and efforts to produce missile weapons are being viewed with serious concern by the international community. Western countries and Israel, as well as countries in the region, fear that Iran's increased military capabilities will threaten peace and stability in the region.
At the same time, the trade of such strategically important materials between Iran and China indicates the deepening of cooperation between the two countries. Despite international sanctions, China continues to actively develop its military-economic relations with Tehran. It is assumed that this situation will cause serious concern for the United States and its partners and may intensify the geopolitical confrontation.
So far, there has been no official detailed explanation of these large-scale orders and their true goals. However, experts are confident that this incident is related to Iran's military-political goals. In particular, the supply of these chemicals has not gone unnoticed at a time when US negotiations on Iran's nuclear program have stalled.
The international community also demands that serious measures be taken to limit the supply of such dangerous substances to Iran. In particular, the European Union countries and the United States are expected to put pressure on China on this issue. This may lead to further aggravation of the geopolitical situation.
Military experts say that Iran's possession of such a large amount of chemical materials could trigger a new missile race in the region. This, in turn, further increases the likelihood that it will have a serious impact on international security.
In general, the supply of such a large amount of strategically important chemical products between Iran and China could send a dangerous signal to the whole world. Now the question is how the international community will react to this situation and what Iran's next steps will be. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
