🛰️ WSJ: Chinese dual-use deliveries accelerated after blockade: Iranian customs data show around 1,300 shipments of Chinese dual-use components to Iran’s Defense Ministry through June this year, according to The Wall Street Journal. They included electronics, motors, GPS equipment and aircraft parts usable in drones and missiles.
Deliveries accelerated after the U.S. blockade of Iranian sea trade, with sanctioned Iranian airline Mahan Air sharply increasing cargo flights from China. Chinese companies have also supplied chemicals used in ballistic-missile production.
The U.S. has sanctioned Chinese and Hong Kong entities accused of helping Iran obtain weapons and military technology, but the Trump administration has largely avoided directly confronting Beijing. President Trump has expressed trust in Chinese President Xi Jinping and questioned the extent of Chinese assistance to Iran, while U.S. officials have played down that support ahead of Trump’s summit with Xi.
China denies improperly supporting Iran’s war effort, saying it complies with international rules, regulates dual-use exports and opposes unilateral U.S. sanctions.
