Wednesday, 22 July 2020_Cooperation between Iran and China means the US so-called "maximum pressure" has failed, says a political commentator.
E. Michael Jones, the editor of Culture Wars magazine, made the comments in an interview with Press TV on Tuesday amid a report by The Washington Post about how the Trump administration's anti-Iran policy -- unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear deal and imposing illegal sanctions on Tehran -- has failed.
"The policy has failed. For what must be years now I have been saying that this policy will have one outcome as the policy of maximum pressure will unite the Eurasian landmass, and it turns out, I was right," Jones said, further asserting that the Trump administration "cannot prevent the inevitable from happening."
The Sino-Iranian Comprehensive Strategic Partnership was initially announced in a joint statement during a visit to Tehran by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2016.
"It will able to get needed currency infusion, infusions of capital, and there's nothing the United States can do about it. The whole point of the United States policy is that it's based on a Navy, that can go anywhere in the world, and bombard people who don't pay debts or don't do what the United States wants them to," said the analyst.
Iran and China are meanwhile going forward with their roadmap in defiance of the US pressure.
