A foreign intelligence document revealed by Kan News alleges that Qatar has served in recent years as a central channel for helping Iran strengthen its economic, commercial, and military capabilities while circumventing international sanctions.

The document, first exposed by Kan’s Arab affairs correspondent Roi Kais and Palestinian affairs correspondent Elior Levy, outlines how Qatar allegedly expanded trade routes with Iran, assisted efforts to unfreeze Iranian funds, and deepened cooperation in the energy sector. According to the report, the activity intensified after the United States withdrew from the 2018 nuclear deal and continued following the October 7 massacre.

The document further alleges that official data points to the transfer of dual-use materials from the Qatar area to Iran, including components that could potentially be used in the production of drones and weapons systems.

Among the materials cited are bituminous mineral oils that can be used for rocket fuel, explosives, and maritime vessels, as well as unusually large quantities of hydrogen that could potentially serve as fuel for rockets and unmanned aerial vehicles.

The document also alleges that aluminum rods and profiles used in drone airframes, along with internal combustion engines that could be incorporated into drone production, were supplied to Iran.

According to the intelligence assessment, the activity could harm the security interests of Israel, the United States, and Arab countries, and it calls for action to be taken against the alleged operations.
