As a result, Iran has been forced to accelerate imports of key raw materials from China\u2014chief among them ammonium perchlorate\u2014in order to repair and restart the damaged facilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restarting Production, Rebuilding the Axis<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to the report, Iran placed orders for these materials through a Hong Kong-based company named Lion Commodities Holdings, using an Iranian intermediary company called Pishgaman Tejarat Rafi Novin. The quantities ordered are reportedly sufficient to produce up to 800 short-range missiles.<\/p>\n<p>Sources said that previous shipments of sodium perchlorate, a precursor chemical, had already arrived in Iran in February and March.<\/p>\n<p>Several officials assessed that part of the imported material may be transferred to Iranian-backed militias in the region, including the Houthis in Yemen. The move is aimed at reviving the Iranian \u201caxis of resistance,\u201d which suffered significant setbacks during the Swords of Iron war.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25942\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25942\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25942 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-42-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-42-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-42-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-42-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-42-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-42.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25942\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houthi rebels | Photo: Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Rebuilding Efforts Facing Pushback<\/strong><br \/>\nIn response, the United States announced a series of new sanctions in April and May targeting companies in China and Hong Kong that have supported Iran\u2019s missile program by supplying critical components.
