Iran rejects report over talks with China, Russia on missile fuel
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani categorically dismissed a recent report by Politico magazine that China and Russia are in advanced secret talks with Iran to replenish the Islamic Republic’s supply of a key chemical compound used to propel ballistic missiles.
Tehran has held concurrent negotiations with officials and government-controlled entities from both countries, including the state-owned Russian chemical maker FKP Anozit, to acquire large amounts of ammonium perchlorate, the main ingredient in solid propellants used to power missiles, the American website quoted diplomats familiar with the issue.
Kanani said such reports are aimed at prolongation of the Ukraine war.
He added that such fabricated news reports seek to deviate the world public opinion away from the Western military supplies being sent to Ukraine, and intend to further prolong the war in the Eastern European country in pursuit of their strategic goals.
Quds Day, a great achievement

Imam Khomeini’s seminal initiative and the enlightening positions of the Islamic Republic vis-à-vis Israel have constituted a fundamental counter-strategy to the machinations of the West and the Israelis. Quds Day also symbolizes the struggle against occupation and aggression, infanticide and discrimination.
The annual observance of Quds Day and the myriad marches taking place in Islamic nations represent a formidable source of bolstering the Palestinian people and their resistance factions, imbuing them with a renewed sense of confidence and conviction to persist in their struggle. Such displays of solidarity bear witness to the unshakable conviction that oppression and aggression shall ultimately prove fleeting.
As it stands, Israel presently faces a state of unparalleled instability, beset by both internal and external pressure that portend its eventual demise. Such pressure is poised to culminate in a crushing collapse for the Israeli regime.
