Iran has ordered thousands of tons of ballistic missile components from China, aiming to rebuild its military capabilities, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the deal between the two countries. These sources said that in the coming months, Iran is expected to receive shipments of ammonium perchlorate compound, which can be used in combination with fuel to power hundreds of ballistic missiles. According to one source, some of these materials may also be sent to pro-Iranian militias, including the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
