Foreign media have launched a campaign against the Iran-China partnership deal. RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Sayyed Karar Hashmi, a Kashmir-based seminarian in Qom, lashed foreign media organizations for carrying false and fabricated stories about Iran and its developments. The Iran-China deal has given sleepless nights to all arrogant powers of the world and such deal is basically a 25-year partnership cooperation between Iran and China and is a “conventional agreement” and this comprehensive cooperative agreement, which aims at strengthen relations between the two countries, has not yet been finalized between the two countries.
He told that the Iran and China are very close to finalising a 25-year strategic partnership which will include Chinese involvement in Chabahar’s duty-free zone, a nearby oil refinery, and possibly a larger role in the Chabahar port as well. Beijing hopes to get cheap oil in return. China will walk away with a steady supply of Iranian oil at a heavily discounted rate for 25 years. The deal also has a military dimension. There will reportedly be joint training and exercises, joint research and weapons development, even intelligence sharing as part of the agreement. Such developments have made the American stance on world hegemony irrelevant now.
Sayyed Hashmi said that it is worth noting that the United States’ “maximum pressure” policy against Tehran has failed completely. China went under the nose of the Americans and managed to negotiate a deal with Tehran. The project has also received the support of Iran’s highest authority, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, saying that the agreement between the two sides was “wise.” It seems that no power on earth could stop this deal as it has received the green light from the highest authority of Iran. Trump should be prepared to face bad to worse days ahead.
He further added that if the Iran-China agreement is implemented, it would revive Iran’s economy and stabilise its politics. Such an economic and political recovery would improve Iran’s regional position. The 25-year plan is based on a win-win approach which heralds long term cooperation.
Sayyed Hashmi said that the advantage for Iran, if China lives up to its commitments, is the infusion of a significant amount of cash into its economy. Such an infusion would certainly help revive Iran’s economy and create more jobs and make Islamic Republic of Iran strong in every sense.
