State Dept official: Iran's cooperation agreement with China 'is definitely not good for the region'
Fox News
Senior State Department official Barbara Leaf warned the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday that Iran's cooperation agreement with China is bad for the Middle East
"There’s no direct threat as such at the moment to U.S. forces," Lead said, "but it is definitely not good for the region."
Immediately prior to that exchange, Young and Lead discussed China's role in the negotiations for a new Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Young asked Leaf if China's role in the talks has posed an obstacle to the American goal of achieving a stronger, longer deal compared to the one entered into by the Obama administration that the Trump administration then left.
