Iran urgently imports missile fuel from China? On March 9, foreign media reported that two Iranian ships related to Tehran's missile program have left a chemical storage port in China and are now heading to Iran. Foreign media stated that these ships are believed to be carrying sodium perchlorate, a key component of solid rocket fuel, which has raised concerns about Iran possibly replenishing its missile supplies.
What is our view on this report by foreign media? There is no doubt that this report is likely to be sensationalism. Relevant information shows that sodium perchlorate is a typical dual-use chemical. It can be used as a raw material for solid rocket fuel, but it is also widely used in civilian industries. In fact, the United Nations sanctions list does not explicitly prohibit sodium perchlorate. In the context of the U.S. and Israel striking Iran, it can be said that foreign media spreading such information at this time has ulterior motives.
These media outlets are probably trying to defame us, portraying us as the ones inciting conflict and providing weapons, thereby creating so-called "China supports Iran's military" public opinion. This kind of approach by foreign media is a typical case of "the thief crying out against the thief." In fact, the United States not only exports dual-use materials to Ukraine, but also exports weapons, and foreign media remain completely indifferent to this. Now, they are fabricating false information about us without any basis. Of course, even if we export to Iran, there is nothing wrong with it. Because this raw material can be used for normal chemical purposes, and foreign media have no reason to spread false information about China's military support for Iran.
