🇨🇳🇮🇷⚡️ — China has continued supplying Iran with components used in drones and ballistic missiles throughout its war with the U.S., according to WSJ.

Iranian customs records show roughly 1,300 shipments of dual-use components from China to Iran’s Defense Ministry in the first six months of 2026, including electronics, GPS devices, motors, and aircraft parts. Following the U.S. naval blockade, Iran expanded its air cargo operations, with Mahan Air operating 39 flights from China in the first week of September.

The records also show that China shipped 300 tons of chemical compounds to Iran’s Defense Ministry just days before the U.S.-Iran war began.

China denies wrongdoing, maintains that its trade with Iran complies with international rules, and rejects U.S. sanctions.
