Reuters reports that Iran created a network of more than 5,000 military agencies to import at least $2 billion in hardware, explosives and heavy-duty trucks since January 2025, evading the US naval blockade and Western sanctions. It says one agency imported rocket propellants and weapons components critical for making missiles and drones between January 2025 and June 2026.
