"Iran has started secret negotiations with China and Russia to buy fuel for missiles used by the Russian army in the Ukrainian war," writes the American Politico news agency. According to embassy sources, Sajjad Ahadzadeh, an Iranian diplomat in Beijing, agreed to buy ammonium perchlorate from Russian and Chinese companies, which is used to produce solid rocket cores that Iran supplies to the Russian military.
According to the publication, this scheme allows Beijing, through the mediation of Iran, to significantly help Moscow without the knowledge of its Western trading partners, bypassing UN sanctions and not spoiling relations, which is outside China's interests.
