Iran Secures Chinese Missile Fuel to Boost Ballistic Arsenal, Re-Arm Regional Proxies
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Iran has ordered thousands of tons of ballistic missile propellant from China to rebuild its arsenal and arm its terrorist proxy forces across the Middle East, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The shipments—primarily ammonium perchlorate, a key component in solid-fuel missiles—are expected to arrive in the coming months, potentially fueling the production of up to 800 short-range ballistic missiles.
The move comes as Iran ramps up pressure in nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration. President Donald Trump confirmed this week that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin to mediate a diplomatic resolution. “It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!” Trump warned on a TruthSocial Post.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has a significant military buildup in the Middle East, including the deployment of additional naval and air assets to deter Iranian aggression and protect regional allies. Defense officials say the deterrent posture is a direct response to Iran’s expanding missile activities and ongoing uranium enrichment.
According to a recent report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has amassed enough highly enriched uranium to build one nuclear bomb every month, potentially. The watchdog’s findings have escalated concerns in both Washington and Jerusalem.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Thursday that Israel “will never allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons,” calling Tehran’s missile buildup and enrichment progress an existential threat.
U.S. intelligence suggests that some of the imported missile fuel will be transferred to Iranian-backed terrorist proxy groups, including the Houthis in Yemen and Shia militias in Iraq–forces that have previously targeted U.S. and Israeli interests. Iran is also attempting to reconstitute its regional militia network following setbacks from Israeli and American military operations in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, and Yemen.
Analysts say Iran’s domestic missile production remains constrained due to Israeli strikes last year on critical manufacturing infrastructure. While Tehran is working to repair the damage, officials believe the regime is increasingly reliant on foreign-sourced materials to avoid delays.
The risk of mishandling these dangerous materials remains high. In April, a massive explosion at Iran’s Shahid Rajaee port–attributed to the IRGC’s Quds Force–killed dozens and reportedly destroyed part of a prior chemical shipment.
Western officials view Iran’s renewed missile push as a calculated strategy to strengthen its regional posture while leveraging its nuclear program in ongoing negotiations. The next phase of diplomacy may be shaped not only by sanctions and enrichment levels, but by how close Iran is to turning material into missiles that can carry a warhead.
PROPHECTICAL SIGNIFICANCE
We’re approaching a significant historical milestone: the anniversary of Israel’s daring 1981 airstrike on Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor, known as Operation Opera or Operation Babylon, carried out on June 7, 1981. Remarkably, this date closely aligns with another monumental event in Israeli history — the liberation of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War, which began on June 5, 1967, and saw Israeli forces recapture the Old City by June 7.
For many prophecy watchers, this convergence of dates is more than a historical coincidence — it is prophetic in nature. In biblical patterns, anniversaries often mark moments of divine intervention or turning points. Just as Israel acted preemptively in 1981 to prevent a hostile regime from acquiring nuclear weapons, and in 1967 reclaimed its ancient capital, some believe the first week of June could again hold significance for Israel and the region.
With tensions escalating across the Middle East — from Iran’s expanding nuclear program to increasing hostility on Israel’s northern and southern borders — many are watching this timeframe closely. The alignment of past military victories and preventative actions with the current geopolitical climate is prompting renewed discussion about divine patterns, national destiny, and prophetic fulfillment.
