China-Iran
Abstract
Domestic protests and the Trump Administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran are threatening the survival of the ruling theocracy. Iran is a significant provider of China’s oil, but that is not sufficient to entice Beijing to throw Tehran a lifeline, which risks direct confrontation with the West and provides few benefits that cannot be secured from a future regime in Tehran.
