Iran’s ‘Touska’ cargo ship seized by the US military was carrying chemicals from China used to manufacture ballistic missiles…. Also known as fertilizer

by

Factcheck:

The MV Touska’s specific cargo isn’t publicly confirmed yet—US Marines are still searching the containers after the seizure.

That said, ships in its fleet (linked to Iran’s sanctioned IRISL) have repeatedly carried sodium perchlorate from China. Iran converts it into ammonium perchlorate, the main oxidizer for solid rocket propellant in ballistic missiles like the Kheibar Shekan.

Recent port calls in Zhuhai fit that pattern. Details on this load should emerge soon.
