🇮🇷🇨🇳 Iran has ordered thousands of tons of ballistic-missile ingredients from China.

Iran has ordered thousands of tons of ballistic missile ingredients from China as part of an effort to rebuild its military capabilities while navigating ongoing nuclear talks with the United States, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the transactions.

The shipments, which are expected to reach Iran in the coming months, include ammonium perchlorate, a key component in the solid propellant used for ballistic missiles. Sources indicated that these materials could potentially fuel hundreds of missiles.

Some of the ammonium perchlorate is expected to be sent to militias aligned with Iran, including the Houthis in Yemen, one of the sources revealed. This move aligns with Iran’s broader strategy to strengthen its regional influence and rebuild its missile arsenal while continuing to negotiate with the Trump administration over the future of its nuclear program.

🇺🇸 Trump vs Musk: The Palantir Presidency?

President Trump is deepening his alliance with Palantir, the surveillance tech giant with ties to Israel and the CIA, just as he threatens to cancel Elon Musk’s contracts over their recent fallout around the spending bill.

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars,” Trump posted on Truth Social, “is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.”

Palantir is building a sweeping AI-driven database of U.S. citizens, integrating government-held data on everything from political activity to firearms ownership. Even within the Trump-aligned America First movement, this direction is raising alarm.

Nick Fuentes, an influential hardline America First commentator, wrote:
“Feeding every ‘MAGA extremist’ into an AI database controlled by a CIA/Mossad cutout… Seriously, if Palantir isn’t the deep state, then what is?”

A deeper shift is underway: Trump is increasingly siding with Peter Thiel’s surveillance empire—and turning on Musk and the libertarian-leaning tech wing of MAGA.
