Iran: China Delivered 1,300 Military Cargoes in Six Months Despite US Sanctions – La Nouvelle Tribune

The Iranian Defense Ministry received approximately 1,300 air shipments of Chinese dual-use components from January to June 2026, including GPS equipment, electric motors, and aircraft engine parts used for drones and missile guidance systems. Many shipments bore a customs exemption under Iran’s Article 119. These deliveries coincided with a ceasefire between the US and Iran in June, and the increase in Iran’s air military logistics following US maritime restrictions.
