The founder of defense technology company Anduril stated that Chinese assistance has significantly boosted Iran's ballistic missile production, and that within two years Iran could amass an arsenal so large that it would deter military action against it.
The founder of Anduril, a leading defense technology firm, made the assessment in remarks reported Wednesday. The warning underscores the growing concern over Iran's missile capabilities, accelerated by Chinese technological assistance. According to the statement, the current trajectory could render Iran's arsenal a strategic deterrent within two years, complicating any potential military response. The claim has not been independently verified, but reflects a view within the defense industry.
