Suspicious Shipments: Two Iranian Vessels Transporting Rocket Fuel Move from China to Iran

Ahwaz – In a new development that highlights the Iranian regime’s ongoing efforts to bolster its destabilizing military capabilities in the region, Western security reports have revealed that two Iranian vessels, “Golbon” and “Jiran”, have departed from China carrying over 1,000 tons of sodium perchlorate, a chemical used in the production of solid rocket fuel.

Shipments Supporting Iran’s Missile Program

Sodium perchlorate is a critical component in the manufacture of solid rocket fuel and is listed among the materials monitored under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The shipment is reportedly destined for Bandar Abbas Port , with no planned stops at other ports along the route. This has raised suspicions about the nature and purpose of the cargo.

Involvement of the IRGC

According to the reports, the vessels “Golbon” and “Jiran” are linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which oversees Iran’s missile program. These shipments are believed to be part of efforts to enhance Iran’s arsenal of ballistic missiles, a key tool in Tehran’s expansionist policies and its support for terrorist groups in the region.

China Denies Involvement Amid Accusations

Despite the reports, the Chinese embassy in Washington has denied any knowledge of the shipment, asserting its commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. However, Western sources indicate that China has long provided logistical and material support to Iran’s missile program, raising concerns about its role as an enabler of regional instability.

Ahwaz News Agency: A New Threat from the Iranian Occupation

These developments underscore the Iranian regime’s continuous efforts to extend its regional influence through military strength and support for armed militias. The Ahwazi people, who suffer under Iranian oppression and occupation, are fully aware that such shipments are intended to bolster Iran’s oppressive machinery and export terrorism to neighboring countries.

Call for International Action

Ahwaz News Agency calls on the international community to take decisive action to halt the flow of materials used in missile manufacturing to Iran. It also urges stricter monitoring of shipments linked to the Iranian regime and the imposition of severe sanctions on any entity involved in supporting its military programs.

The Iranian regime’s continued pursuit of advanced military capabilities will only heighten tensions in the region, making it imperative to confront this threat to safeguard regional and global security.
