Iran Orders Material from China for Hundreds of Ballistic Missiles
(Wall Street Journal) Laurence Norman - Iran has ordered thousands of tons of ballistic-missile ingredients from China to rebuild its military prowess. Shipments of ammonium perchlorate are expected to reach Iran in coming months and could fuel 800 ballistic missiles. Some of the material would likely be sent to militias in the region aligned with Iran, including Houthis in Yemen. Israel severely damaged Iran's ability to produce new solid propellant missiles in October by taking out a dozen planetary mixers, used to blend components for the missiles. Iran has started to repair the mixers.
