Leaked documents have linked Chinese and Turkish firms to an alleged IRGC missile fuel network that helped Iran obtain chemicals for ballistic missile production, Iran International reported.
The documents, obtained by hacker group Prana, name China-based Haokun Energy and Turkey-registered Golden Globe Demir Celik. They also point to companies in the United Arab Emirates.
Iran, a Middle East country with Tehran as its capital, allegedly used the network to move oil revenues into missile-related purchases. The documents say the firms relied on classified channels to navigate US sanctions.
The records describe planned shipments of 2,000 tons of sodium chlorate and 10,000 tons of sodium perchlorate to Iran. The volume could support a solid-fuel load of about 2,500 ballistic missiles.
Haokun Energy previously handled IRGC-linked oil sales to Chinese refineries, according to the documents.
A source familiar with the matter told Iran International that Haokun still owes the IRGC more than $1 billion in oil revenues.
The documents also link Golden Globe Demir Celik to oil sales, cryptocurrency transfers and payments routed through Tourism Bank in Tehran.
One record describes a proposed sale of two million barrels of oil from Kharg Island to a UAE-based company.
US officials have previously targeted networks accused of supplying Iran with missile propellant ingredients from China.
The US Treasury said in April 2025 that it sanctioned entities and individuals for the procurement of sodium perchlorate and related materials for the IRGC.
Neither Beijing nor Tehran has publicly confirmed the shipments. China also rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s May 12 claim that it helped the IRGC acquire ballistic missile components.
