This past weekend, China and Iran signed the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, a 25-year strategic agreement that is the fruition of discussions that began in 2015 when Chinese president Xi Jinping’s visited Tehran and met supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Following this visit, Khamenei sent a private message to Jinping asking to hold talks about an agreement. Majid Reza Hariri, the head of the Iran-China Chamber of Commerce, later said, that any opinions came from the regime, as represented by Larijani.
The Iranian regime has not released the full text of the agreement. It is an entirely “behind the scenes” document. A few things, though, are known:
The agreement seemingly offers little to Iran except for providing it with an oil market in China. Even some of the regime’s supporters have described the agreement as resembling the Turkmenchay Treaty of 1828, a giveaway in which Iran ceded some of its northern provinces to Russia. Those opposed to the regime suspect it intends to use the prospect of cheap oil for China as its trump card in its negotiations with the U.S. It badly wants to rid itself of the sanctions Trump imposed.
According to the Petroleum-Economist website reported there are 5,000 Chinese security forces on Iranian soil as part of an agreement to protect Chinese projects. Last July, British author and financial journalist Simon Watkins, was trying to tease apart the details of the security agreement between the two countries. He concluded that the parties would cooperate on military and intelligence matters. In addition, China would make a $400 billion dollar investment in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, which would include upgrading Iran’s infrastructure.

Worse. These are the people Biden is aligning with.
Apparently ChiComs aren’t infidels. The mullahs use religion like liberals use racism. Neither group cares about anything but their own power and just use their ‘causes’ to recruit gullible fools, because they know their real objectives have no merit. Liberals can’t defend their core beliefs, if they have any at all, because they’re empty and indefensible. It’s why conservative voices must be censored.
In exchange for Iranian oil, the Chinese will show them how to make a working nuclear warhead and how to mount then on working ICBMS like they did for Pakistan.
In exchange for that help, Iran will then proceed to make good on its promise of nuking Rome, Tel Aviv and NYC for starters. They gotta kill millions to bring the 12th Imam out of the Well and begin bringing the entire human race to Paradise.
