The first of two vessels carrying 1000 tonnes of sodium perchlorate, a key component in solid rocket propellant, has arrived in Iran. This shipment, purchased by Iran's ballistic missile development organization, could signal a quick return to missile production after Israel's attacks last year. While the trade itself isn't illegal, experts warn the chemical can be transformed into ammonium perchlorate, a controlled product used in rocket propellants.
