5,000 Companies Arming Iran and Millions for Hezbollah

A Military Network Bypassing Sanctions

A Reuters investigation uncovered over 5,000 entities working for Iran’s Defence Ministry and Revolutionary Guards since at least 2013, sourcing billions of dollars in weapons, explosives, trucks, and missile and drone components.

97% of Shipments Paid Outside Traditional Channels

The network used intermediaries and overseas accounts to bypass Iranian banks. Reuters found no evidence that the entities it identified were individually listed under Western sanctions.

Hundreds of Millions Sent to Lebanon

Reuters previously revealed that Iran sent tens of millions of dollars to support He*bollah’s military capabilities, plus $200 million for displaced families in southern Lebanon.

The new investigation exposes the scale of Tehran’s military procurement networks.
