One is the world’s leading state sponsor of terror. The other is the world’s most powerful dictatorship and greatest long-term threat facing the United States. What happens when they join forces?
Mark Dubowitz sits down with Craig Singleton (FDD) and Grant Rumley (Washington Institute, formerly FDD) to unpack the dragon–mullah alliance. From oil deals, weapons transfers, Belt and Road projects and AI-powered repression, to a strategy designed to undermine America and shatter the rules-based world order, China-Iran ties go much deeper — and darker — than economic trade. How far will Beijing go to embolden Tehran, and how should Washington respond before the Axis of Aggressors tightens its grip?
