L’Organisation des industries de la défense (DIO) est un conglomérat de plus de 300 entreprises et une filiale du ministère iranien de la défense et de la logistique des forces armées (MODAFL), dont la fonction est de doter les forces armées des capacités de fabrication et des moyens techniques nécessaires. Elle a joué un rôle central dans le programme iranien de développement de missiles balistiques et dans la mise en œuvre du programme iranien de centrifugeuses. La DIO supervise un grand nombre de sociétés-écrans et de contractants publics dans le domaine de la défense, directement ou par l’intermédiaire de sa filiale principale, l’Organisation des industries aérospatiales.Elle joue un rôle important dans la production de divers matériels militaires pour l’Iran, dont des missiles. Ces dernières années, la DIO a tenté de s’orienter vers l’exportation, ce qui a permis à l’Iran de devenir un exportateur d’armes: en 2022, la DIO a enregistré une croissance de 200 % par rapport à 2021, a mis au point 75 nouvelles armes et a multiplié ses exportations par 2,5, contribuant ainsi à la croissance de l’industrie iranienne de la défense. La DIO fournit donc un appui aux activités nucléaires de l’Iran posant un risque de prolifération et à la mise au point de vecteurs d’armes nucléaires.

Entité concourant au programme nucléaire. Entité sous le contrôle du MODAFL; certaines des entités placées sous son contrôle ont participé à la fabrication de composants pour le programme de centrifugeuses et au programme de missiles
