The materials being transported are sufficient to make 1,300 tons of propellant, which could power 260 mid-range Iranian missiles.
Two Iranian cargo vessels are carrying missile propellant materials back to Iran from China, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
The Iranian-flagged ships — the Golbon and the Jairan — are transporting 1,000 tons of sodium perchlorate, a valuable raw material for producing propellant for missiles, according to information based on intelligence from two Western security officials, the report said.
The sodium perchlorate, which is transformed into ammonium perchlorate in the propellant-producing process, is enough to make 1,300 tons of propellant, which could power 260 mid-range Iranian missiles.
Ammonium perchlorate is a controlled substance listed by the Missile Technology Control Regime, an international anti-proliferation body.
